Netbeans no Javascript.

Suppose a typical use-case:

A user writes some code and wants to consult Javadoc about some constructions he is using.

He selects a piece of code and presses Shift+F1.

The user gets redirected to a Javadoc tab, where he sees the picture somehow similar to the one on the screenshot. (See attachement)

Note the line "Javascript is disabled in your browser." 

Suggestion: NetBeans should have an option to turn on Javascript itself (without user digging in the configuration files manually) at least for the "Embedded WebKit Browser".
