Javascript is a programming language just as any other computer programming language.
However it is very popular and useful in web site design as it allow some kind of interaction between the web page and the web site visitor.

For instance, when you fill out a contact form in a web site and does not properly entered certain fields, you would be prompted to make the corrections by a pop-up message as shown below:

However Javascript does more than that. Without it, you could not see pop-up navigation menus shown in this web site when you place the mouse over the top links (Web design, Marketing, Training, …). Therefore in this Javascript allow the web developer to enhance the web site usability.

Also with the advent of AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) in Web 2.0, Javascript is at the forefront of AJAX application. If you have not yet see the power of AJAX, please checkout google maps or google keywords suggestion tool.

Unfortunately some scrupulous web sites use javascript the wrong way like filling your browser with lots of pop-up windows that you have to battle with in a race of clicks in order to get rid of all of them.
Because of that some computer antivirus or antispayware programs block the execution javascript program unless you explicitly enabled javascript for the web site you are viewing.

I totally understand your concerns if you are one of those warry web surfers annoyed by pop-up windows and the like. But trust me on this, any serious business would only use javascript on their web site to add a plus to your web browing experience NOT to trick you into doing something else shady.

That being said, just looking at the web site in front of you will reveal whether or not it’s worth allowing javascript from that web site to be executed or not.

As far as Saheltech.com is concerned, we take our business seriouly and value your visit to our website. Just for that reason and many legimited others our javascript code is safe to run in your web browser.
