"Browser doesn't support script"?

Question

I open few websites and before logging in it said "your browser doesn't support script". What does it mean? This warning usually makes me cannot post any comments to articles in such websites. Specially when it required me to verify Captcha codes, whatever I write will be a wrong code.

Anyone can help me to solve this out? Thanks a lot.
