What does it mean when it says javascript disabled?

Question

I was just going to check my Emails, it seemed to be taking a long time. Then in red words, it says my java scriptt is disabled and function will be impaired. What on earth does this mean, and why has it happened, and what do I do to put it right? And what are the consquences of leaving it and not bothering to do anything?

I'm sure someonemust know. Thanks to anyone who can help!
