How to enable JavaScript

LocalAds uses JavaScript very sparely, however, some of our functions can not work without this little helper. Be assured that none of the JavaScript code on our pages will cause any unwanted or annoying behaviour in your browser, it is merely designed to make your use of LocalAds more pleasant.

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a technology that allows webpages to react to user request more dynamically. This may be the dynamic change of colours, a sophisticated, easy to use menu or the drag and drop of objects. However, some web sites use JavaScript to carry out functions that are unwanted by the user, like opening pop-up windows or page redirections.

LocalAds and JavaScript

You are able to use LocalAds completely without JavaScript and all major functions will work just fine. This includes

• Searching for classifieds
• Register as a new user
• Send emails to other users
• Price comparison
• Browsing stores
• Reading the help files

However, certain actions rely on JavaScript and you will have to enable it to carry out one of the following

• Create any kind of listing
• Create stores, notice boards and charity shops
• Use the drag & drop functionality in LATEST ADS & NOTICE BOARDS
• Edit existing listings or stores
• Sort or approve notices within a board
