As described in the Assistant Attorney General for Administration's Memorandum (link available to DOJ Net users only), "Use of Mobile Code on the Internet and Deployment of the Department-Approved Internet Browser," March 30, 1999, components may permit employees to enable the Java and/or JavaScript capabilities of their Web browsers when dictated by bona fide business needs. (JCON II users can find the memo on the public G: drive, in the IRM folder, listed as mobilecode.wpd.)

For example, certain personnel services are provided through JavaScript applets. If your component has authorized the use of Java and/or JavaScript, use the following instructions to enable Java and/or JavaScript in the Department-approved Netscape browser:

1. On the tool bar at the top of the browser window, select: Edit
2. On the drop-down menu, select: Preferences
3. Under "Category," select: Advanced
4. Check the boxes for "Enable Java" and/or "Enable JavaScript" as appropriate
5. Select: OK
