I was told to make sure I have Javascript enabled. How do I do this?
JavaScript is a scripting language commonly used to build web pages. Programmers use JavaScript to make web pages more interactive; for example, to display forms (Such as Easy Reply) and buttons (The beautiful Customize and Category buttons, you see around deviantART) and to make processes, such as our submission process run more fluidly. Disabling JavaScript may cause some sites not to run properly in your browser, including deviantART.
