JavaScript Instructions


What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a small programming language that works inside your web browser.

It can be used to make areas of a web page glow, blink or change appearance.

We use JavaScript to check data entries that you make. For example, we use it to make sure that any dates you enter are in the correct date format.

We also use JavaScript to make sure you enter a password of the correct length and that any email address you enter is properly formatted.

In addition, and more importantly, we use JavaScript in all of our assessments, card sorts and tests. Our career tools will simply not run without JavaScript.

It is normally safe to turn JavaScript on.

Other than writing and reading cookies, JavaScript can not "write to" or "read from" your hard disk. Thus it can not access your files.

The main risks with having JavaScript turned on is that malicious web sites can use it to grab your web browser and take you to a completely different web site.

Some sites will bounce you from site to site to get credit for bringing in new traffic.

We don't do that here at CareerPlanner.com.

So if JavaScript is turned off, we can not check the data you enter and this will cause errors and give you a bad experience.
