Change browser security settings with JavaScript?

[erica246]

Can you change the browser security settings with JavaScript? I have been asked to create two buttons on a web page. One would allow the user to enable cookies. The other one would disable script debugging.

What would be the point in being able to set your own security setting if they could be progmatically changed? No, you can't change those things with javascript...

Well I have already told my supervisor that it couldn't be done. I was looking for actual proof that it couldn't be done that is why I posted this. A lot of our users do not know how to change their own security settings that is why I was asked if there is a way to progmatically change them. The point of this would be to minimize errors and confusion.

As pyro said-no.

If any webpage or program could remove your security in 1 click-what would be the point of having security settings?
