Hi Rebecca,
You don't have to download anything for JavaScript support. It is a scripting
language used by Web developers to add dynamic behavior to Web pages. All
modern browsers support JavaScript, so no add on is needed.

Hello Marc,
I had Java installed when I first got the computer, Windows 7, 64-bit, now
running Windows 9.1.
Java kept wanting to update and I could find no way to opt out of the
toolbars it wanted to install. So I uninstalled the program. I've
encountered few instances where this might be causing an issue.
http://www.1800petmeds.com/
I get a message saying that the website uses Java and an ok button.
Another is the CenturyLink website.
http://centurylink.net/
I can log in and read my e-mail, and the "Reply" seems to work, but I can't
send a new message. I get a message saying that the website requires a
program I don't have. When I check with the Window-Eyes Mouse, I find the
word JavaScript.
I understand that the two programs are different, but is JavaScript
something I should download and install on my computer? I use IE 11. Is it
an add-on for IE?
I only have one add-on:
Microsoft Office Cash Handler.
I use Office 2010 to bring in my e-mail, so don't really need the
CenturyLink page to work, but why can't they make it accessible just on
principle. Sigh. Smile.
And speaking of accessibility,
When I try to log in on the Amazon page, I get the following message:

See a new challenge
I'm forced to use the website for screen readers now.
So I tried an experiment.
I deleted the Amazon cookie and with no cookie, I used the Amazon link on my
desktop.� Since I can�t sign in, I used the special screen reader link at
the top and was taken to a more simplified site.� I searched for kinetic
sand and was taken to the same site for the results.
I closed Amazon and went back to the desktop.� I did not sign in, but
there�s now a cookie on my computer.� When I used the desktop link for
Amazon, it now takes me to a basic, stripped-down site of only 16 links and
keeps me there.� It keeps me there even if I search for something on Amazon
through Google.
The only way to use the initial site for screen readers is to delete the
cookie and use the link at the top of the big Amazon page.� But this is only
good for one session.� If I leave, it�s back to the baby site.
I never had any problems with the regular site, and sometimes I do
appreciate the baby site as I call it. What I find objectionable is that
decisions are being made for me as a screen reader user. Sometimes product
descriptions are more detailed on the regular site than what is displayed on
the very stripped down site.
Back underneath my rock now! Smile.
But any thoughts on either subject above would be appreciated.

Probably not. While Javascript is used on almost every modern website, Java
is rarely used. Exceptions to this rule include online games and some
proprietary Web applications in the work place. And most Java applications
have compatibility issues with AT like screen readers.
