but what you are actually doing is :
Tools => Internet Options => Security
=>Internet
=> Custom Level=> Scripting => Active Scripting (disable).

If you look carefully at
Tools => Internet Options => Security
you can see there 4 Icons
the first one is Internet, and it is preselected.

Just select what you want: " local Intranet" instead.

So:

Tools => Internet Options => Security
=> local Intranet
=> Custom Level=> Scripting => Active Scripting (disable).

I am not sure what the IE prefs are supposed to do
when you disable/enable JAvascript, but I never
sucessfully managed to disable JS in IE till I
saw this post by Grant Wagner.

One obvious strategy for testing web sites is to set up a local HTTP
server and test the site from there. In that way you can convince IE
that it is accessing the site from the Internet and internet security
settings will be applied, giving a much more realistic impression of how
the site will behave when it is on a public server.

Thank you for your responce.

Your suggestion is indeed a scary one -- for me, at any rate. In lieu
of all that (and, if nothing else), I can rely on browsers other than
IE to test the 'JS disabled' functioning of my site.

Thank you for your responce.

Your suggestion is well taken: but, is setting up a local HTTP server
plausable for a 'marble-less' novice website developer? (I am well
versed in HTML, CSS, XHTML and a bit of JS; and, I have perviewed the
Apache download site: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi.)

so for me when I test against the filesystem, sorry.
I now realized that my test was against my local tomcat.

-> Richard Cornford advice: local HTTPserver

The most difficult part is figuring out what file to download. Skip
all that stuff about verifying that the download got downloaded
correctly.

Once you get the correct file, it might tell you got get the MSI
package. It will tell you where to download it from on the MS site.

As far as installing it, it is easy. It runs without any
configuration. Just create a subfolder in the main documention folder
for your site.

For Windows 98, it is best to manually start Apache everytime.

Now if you had MacOS X, you'd find that MacOS X comes with Apache.

Fair enough. I will assure you though,
that I tried it successfully, and that I
only tried it because I was confident that
Grant had already tested it himself.

(chuckles) Fair enough! I have only ever tried it
once, for an IE specific problem where I needed to
test every possibility available to me.

Most of my 'no JS' testing is done in Moz.

I have no idea what impact being 'marble-less' would have on your
ability to set up a local HTTP server. But my perception would be that
if you want to call yourself a web developer you want (probably need) to
have some familiarity with HTTP servers, and setting one up (preferably
Apache and/or IIS initially, as they are probably the two most widely
used on the Internet) to run locally (and configuring it to be a
sensible test environment) is going to make a positive contribution in
that direction.
