Will talk more about it in a later post, this one is about how to configure your IE (esp if you are only using it to check if your stuff works and not for active development) so that you can choose to allow javascript everytime you reload the page, this allows you to quickly look at both the scenarios without having to go through the entire process of enabling and disabling stuff.

1. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
2. Select the Security tab.
3. Click the Custom Level button.
4. Scroll to the Scripting section.
5. Under Active Scripting, select the Prompt option (usually i would select enable/disable which took time)
6. Click OK.
7. Click the Yes button.
8. Click OK.On your toolbar, click the Refresh button.

So now every time you reload your page, you get the following prompt

and you can choose to allow or disallow javascript.
