Question

Programmatically enable Javascript in Blackberry browser (not in Browser Field)

Answer 1

+2 A:

No, you can't override user settings on the native Browser. Your best bet is to gracefully degrade the webpage when it detects that Javascript is not available (if possible).

Thank you very much for the response Marc. Can you elaborate a little more on "gracefully degrade the webpage". What i figured out by this that the it is the task of the web service to detect if javascript is enabled or not and accordingly make changes to the webpage. Right?? There's nothing that can be done in the application??

@tek3: The *best* way is to make sure the application works (possibly with limited features if needed) without javascript, but if that's not possible or reasonable, let the user know that they need to enable javascript. You can either use the `<noscript>` tag, or hide the message with javascript (so if it doesn't run, the message will still show up). Search for "graceful degradation" or "unobtrusive javascript" for a lot more information.

+1 A:

You can try it by:

RenderingOptions ro = _renderingSession.getRenderingOptions();
ro.setProperty(RenderingOptions.CORE_OPTIONS_GUID, RenderingOptions.JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED, true);
