I get asked all the time by developers what features are turned on by default in the BlackBerry browser. This includes features such as HTML tables, JavaScript, & CSS. Turns out RIM has provided a nice little table that details the capabilities of every BlackBerry OS back to version 4.0 in this article. I just can’t help but notice that JavaScript is disabled on all of them…
| BlackBerry Device Software | Default values | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support style sheets | Support HTML tables | Use background images | Support embedded media | Support JavaScript® | |
| 4.0 | No | No | No | No | No |
| 4.1 | No | No | No | No | No |
| 4.2.0 | No | No | No | No | No |
| 4.2.1 | No | No | No | No | No |
| 4.2.2 | No | No | No | No | No |
| 4.3.0 | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| 4.5.0 | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
For BlackBerry Device Software 4.6 and later, cascading style sheet (CSS) and HTML table support is automatically included and it can no longer be turned off.
| BlackBerry Device Software | Default values | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Use background images | Support embedded media | Support JavaScript* | |
| 4.6.0 | Yes | Yes | No |
| 4.6.1 | Yes | Yes | No |
| 4.7.0 | Yes | Yes | No |
* By default, the Hotspot Browser (Wi-Fi®) has JavaScript enabled because that browser is primarily intended for logging into hotspots, where JavaScript is often required.
