It means then that

Option A) You browser doesn't support JavaScript - highly unlikely
but...

Option B) You raised security settings too high so JavaScript became
disabled on your browser.

In the latter case (if Internet Explorer):
1) run Internet Explorer
2) Tools > Internet Options... > Security tab
3) Select "Internet" zone and click "Custom level"
4) Find the "Active scripting" section and set it to "Enable"
The rest of settings you may leave is they are.

If you don't want (or not allowed) to change any settings, then you
have to go to http://www.mozilla.org, get the newest version of Firefox
browser and use it to learn JavaScript. And use Internet Explorer to
browse the Internet.
