How to Enable JavaScript on Apple Safari (iPad, iPhone iOS)

Are you having a hard time in trying to turn on JavaScript on your iPad or Apple iPhone device?

JavaScript has evolved into an essential tool that makes the web what it is today. It controls the dynamic elements of web pages, and most websites will fail to run correctly if your Apple Safari browser does not have its JavaScript enabled. Although disabling JavaScript offers browsers faster loading of a website, you should know that it reduces the overall browsing experience on your iPad or iPhone device.

Be it an iPhone 11, iPhone 10 or MacOS device, the steps in this guide will help you learn the simple process and benefits of enabling the JavaScript feature on your Safari browser.

Instructions for Web Developers

You may want to consider linking to this site, to educate any script-disabled users on how to enable JavaScript in six most commonly used browsers. You are free to use the code below and modify it according to your needs.

On enablejavascript.io we optimize the script-disabled user experience as much as we can:

• The instructions for your browser are put at the top of the page
• All the images are inlined, full-size, for easy perusing

We want your visitors to have JavaScript enabled just as much as you do!

What Is JavaScript and Why Do I Need It?

JavaScript is a type of code used by web developers to install and establish interactive content on websites – in essence, it allows web pages to dynamically load and send content in the background without page loads on your Apple Safari browser. Generally, JavaScript is used by modern websites to provide various features such as display advertisements – the reason why a small subset of internet users want it disabled.

However, disabling the JavaScript feature on your Safari web browser is much more of a hassle than it seems. If you turn off JavaScript on your browser, many websites won’t function properly. In most cases, you will also be unable to enjoy certain functions or view content that you are accustomed to accessing on JavaScript-based websites.

How to Enable JavaScript on Safari ​

1. Select the “Safari” icon on your home screen.

4. On the Advanced menu, find the option for enabling or disabling “JavaScript” for your Safari browser. On finding the JavaScript option, you’ll see a button next to it.

5. Now slide this button to the right to turn on JavaScript on your Safari browser.

4. Move your cursor over to the “Security” tab and select it.

5. Now check the box beside “Enable JavaScript” to turn on JavaScript. Make sure the box is checked.

7. That’s it! You’ve disabled JavaScript.

8. Restart your browser. 

Apple Safari comes built-in with a JavaScript engine that makes website elements interactive. And while it isn't actually necessary that you enable it to use your Safari browser, it's something that you'll perhaps want to do to enjoy a seamless browsing experience. Otherwise, many websites you visit will appear broken or won't even work.

JavaScript is enabled by default in Apple Safari, but you can verify if yours is active through the Safari tab. To do this, simply click on "Safari" at the top left of your screen to expand the Menu. Next, click on Preferences to reveal the Safari Preferences section. Now that you're in the Preferences section, find and click the "Security" tab to access the "Enable JavaScript" checkbox. If the checkbox has a tick symbol, it means JavaScript is active and working.

Millions of websites use JavaScript to display interactive elements, such as animations, special effects and more. If you browse them with JavaScript disabled in your Apple Safari, then you probably won't have the full experience that you normally would. Some JavaScript-based websites may appear dull or static, while others may not even work at all.

Cannot enable Java in Safari (or any other browser) in OS X

I have the following running on my Mac:

• OSX Yosemite (10.10.2)
• Java version 8 update 31
• Safari 8.0.4

I am unable to run any Java applet on Safari. I have added multiple sites to the exception lists (in System Preferences -> Java Control Panel -> Security), but it has not changed anything.

I also don't see anything related to Java in Safari preferences:

When I try to run a Java applet, it says, Error. Click for details. , and when I do, this is what I get:

I've tried Chrome and Firefox as well, and this is the common error they give me:

Whatever I do, I cannot allow for Java applets to be run on any browser.

• google-chrome

• Did you try adding 140.113.239.214 to the exception list under System Preferences -> Java -> Security ? –  Erikster Mar 18, 2015 at 23:12
• Didn't work. It asked me permission to run it, I said ok, and then it didn't load again. It says Error, click for details again. But this time, the error is NullPointerException : There was an error while executing the application. Click "Details" for more information. –  sodiumnitrate Mar 18, 2015 at 23:42
• 1 Huh. NullPointerException sounds like an issue with the actual Java program you're trying to run. Do you have an IT group you can contact? –  Erikster Mar 18, 2015 at 23:44
• Ok, tried it with another java applet from another site. It worked, but safari keeps on crashing. Works perfectly well with chrome, though. –  sodiumnitrate Mar 19, 2015 at 0:05
• To Safari, Java counts as a plug-in. So you may need to click the "Website Settings…" button for plug-ins, find Java in the list of plug-ins, and add websites to the whitelist. –  Spiff Mar 19, 2015 at 0:48

Disabling (or Enabling) the Java Plugin in a Browser

• Java Programming
• PHP Programming
• Javascript Programming
• Delphi Programming
• C & C++ Programming
• Ruby Programming
• Visual Basic
• M.A., Advanced Information Systems, University of Glasgow

The Java plugin is part of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and allows a browser to work with the Java platform to run Java applets to execute in the browser.

The Java plugin is enabled in a large number of browsers around the world and this makes it a target for malicious hackers. Any popular third-party plugin is subjected to the same kind of unwanted attention. The team behind Java have always taken security seriously and they will endeavor to quickly release an update to patch any serious security vulnerabilities found. This means the best way to minimize problems with the Java plugin is to make sure it is up-to-date with the latest release.

If you are really worried about the security of the Java plugin but still need to visit a popular website (e.g., online banking in some countries) that need the Java plugin enabled, then consider the two browser trick. You can use one browser (e.g., Internet Explorer) only when you want to use the websites using the Java plugin. For the rest of the time use another browser, (e.g., Firefox) with the Java plugin disabled.

Alternatively, you might find that you don't go to websites that use Java very often. In this case, you may prefer the option of disabling and enabling the Java plugin as needed. The instructions below will help you to set up your browser to disable (or enable) the Java plugin.

To turn on/turn off Java applets in the Firefox browser:

• Select Tools -> Add-ons from the menu toolbar.
• The Add-ons Manager window appears. Click on Plugins on the left-hand side.
• In the list on the right select, the Java Plugin - the name of the plugin will vary depending on whether you are a Mac OS X or Windows user. On the Mac, it will be called Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI Browsers or Java Applet Plug-in (depending on the operating system version). On Windows, it will be called Java (TM) Platform .
• The button to the right of the selected plugin can be used to enable or disable the plugin.

Internet Explorer

To enable/disable Java in the Internet Explorer browser:

• Select Tools -> Internet Options from the menu toolbar.
• Click on the Security tab.
• Click on the Custom level.. button.
• In the Security Settings window scroll down the list until you see Scripting of Java applets.
• Java applets are Enabled or Disabled depending on which radio button is checked. Click on the option you want and then click OK to save the change.

To enable/disable Java in the Safari browser:

• Select Safari -> Preferences from the menu toolbar.
• In the preferences, window click on the Security icon.
• Make sure the Enable Java checkbox is checked if you want Java enabled or unchecked if you want it disabled.
• Close the preferences window and the change will be saved.

To turn on/turn off Java applets in the Chrome browser:

• Click on the wrench icon to the right of the address bar and choose Settings .
• At the bottom click the link called Show advanced settings...
• Under the Privacy, section click on Content settings...
• Scroll down to the Plug-ins section and click on Disable individual plug-ins .
• Look for the Java plugin and click on the Disable link to turn off or the Enable link to turn on.

To enable/disable the Java plugin in the Opera browser:

• In the address bar type in "opera:plugins" and hit enter. This will display all the installed plugins.
• Scroll down to the Java plugin and click on Disable to turn off the plugin or Enable to turn it on.

Enable Java Applets in Safari 14

How do I enable Java Applets in Safari 14. In Safari 14, Preferences -> Security page does not have option for configuring plugins

Hello naren2012,

It sounds like you want to know how to enable plug-ins in Safari on your Mac, correct? We'd love to provide some information.

"Safari no longer supports most web plug-ins. To load webpages more quickly, save energy, and strengthen security, Safari is optimized for content that uses the HTML5 web standard, which doesn't require a plug-in. To enhance and customize your browsing experience, use Safari extensions instead of web plug-ins."

You can find more information about that under the "Learn More" part of this page: How to install Safari extensions on your Mac

How can I run or activate Java in the browser?

• Platform(s): Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP, macOS
• Browser(s) Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari
• Java version(s): 7.0, 8.0

Internet Explorer - Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking

Internet Explorer (IE) has a new security feature, called ActiveX control blocking to keep ActiveX controls, such as Java, up-to-date. This feature will prevent the app or web page from loading, if it finds that Java is out-of-date and will provide the option to update Java.

Java(TM) was blocked because it is out of date

When the ActiveX control blocks an older Java version, you'll see:

• In Internet Explorer: a notification bar, similar to Java(TM) was blocked because it is out of date and needs to be updated and options to Update or Run this time
• Outside IE: an Internet Explorer Security dialog, A website wants to open web content using an outdated program on your computer and options to Allow or Don't Allow running the application, as well to Update the old version.

Update Java

It is recommended you update Java before allowing the app to run. Click Update and download the latest Java version. If you don't trust the site or prompt, you can visit the java.com web site to get the latest version.

The out-of-date ActiveX control blocking applies to:

• Windows 7 SP1 Internet Explorer 8 through Internet Explorer 11
• Windows 8 Internet Explorer for the desktop

» ActiveX control blocking (Microsoft blog)

Firefox - Activate Java plug-in

Firefox implemented a new Click to Play security feature that protects against attacks, targeting plug-ins that are known to be vulnerable. This feature prevents applets from automatically loading and allows users to control what content they want to run or avoid.

• If you try to run a Java applet using a Java plug-in version that is identified as vulnerable, Firefox will prevent the applet from automatically loading and alert you that the plug-in is vulnerable.
• If an update is available, Firefox will provide the option to update or activate the plug-in. We recommend checking for updates before activating the plug-in.
• Additionally, Firefox provides an option to block or automatically activate the plug-in on a per-site basis.

» Click to Play on Firefox (mozilla.org)

Chrome browser versions 42 and above. Starting with Chrome version 42 (released April 2015), Chrome has disabled the standard way in which browsers support plugins. More info

Safari allows you to configure plug-in behavior in the browser on a website basis.

Safari specific functionality.

Unlike Chromium and Firefox drivers, the safaridriver is installed with the Operating System. To enable automation on Safari, run the following command from the terminal:

Capabilities common to all browsers are described on the Options page .

Capabilities unique to Safari can be found at Apple’s page About WebDriver for Safari

Starting a Safari session with basic defined options looks like this:

Those looking to automate Safari on iOS should look to the Appium project .

Service settings common to all browsers are described on the Service page .

Unlike other browsers, Safari doesn’t let you choose where logs are output, or change levels. The one option available is to turn logs off or on. If logs are toggled on, they can be found at: ~/Library/Logs/com.apple.WebDriver/ .

Selenium v4.10

Note : Java also allows setting console output by System Property; Property key: SafariDriverService.SAFARI_DRIVER_LOGGING Property value: "true" or "false"

Implementation Missing

Selenium is a well-known software used for software testing purposes. Selenium consists of three parts. One is Selenium IDE, one is Selenium Webdriver & the last one is Selenium Grid. Among these Selenium Webdriver is the most important one. Using Webdriver online website testing can be done. There are three main Webdrivers present. For the Chrome browser, ChromeDriver is present. For the Firefox browser, Gecko Driver is applicable. And for Microsoft Edge, there will be MSEdgeDriver present. Excluding these, many more drivers are present for other browsers. In this article, the process of running SafariWebdriver is implemented. It is useful for those who use Mac OS. This simple Java program can be run.

Pre-Requisites:

• For running SafariDriver, the Java jdk version must be installed in the machine previously.
• The latest version of Safari should be installed.
• It is preferable to install Eclipse IDE on the machine so that running this code will be easier.
• The most important prerequisite is latest SafariDriver should be downloaded on the machine.
• Here, using SafariDriver, the home page of Google is going to open. For, that some methods need to be imported.
• First, the Google home page link is to be stored in a string.
• Then in the program, the property of the browser is to be set. setProperty() method is going to be used here.
• In the setProperty() method, the first argument is to be the Webdriver that is to be going to use. Here, using SafariDriver specifically that argument have to be passed. And in the second argument, the location of the SafariDriver.exe is to be passed.

Note : In this case, SafariDriver.exe is stored in Eclipse, so maybe the location seems different. But also, a complete File Explorer path can also be passed.

• Then a new object called driver should be implemented which is a type of WebDriver. Here, in this case, it will be SafariDriver.
• Then using that driver object, the get() method will be used. This get() method of WebDrivers helps to open some URLs provided. Here the home page of Google is going to be opened. So, only the string where the URL has been stored will be passed. Executing this method will go to open a new Chrome window.
• Then the sleep() method is going to be implemented. This delays the programs for some time. So that the output can be visible easily.
• At last, the opened Safari window has to be closed. For that reason, the quit() method is going to be implemented.

Below is the complete implementation of the above approach:

If the above code is run, then a new Safari Window will be opened. This open window will be controlled by SafariDriver.exe.

Hence, the program runs successfully.
