The Javascript error you are experiencing is caused by Javascript being turned off in your browser.
You need to re-enable this to communicate with the council and many other websites.
Javascript is used to enable cookies with various sites so you can be remembered along with many other things such as which browser and os you are using.
Javascript can also be used to download trojans, worms, keyloggers  and such like in the background whilst you are surfing the web, unbeknown to the user.

The 500 Internal Server Error is a very general HTTP status code that means something has gone wrong on the web site's server but the server could not be more specific on what the exact problem is.

Most of the time, "gone wrong" means an issue with the page or site's programming, nothing you have anything to do with.

Note: More specific information about the cause of a particular HTTP 500 error is often provided when it occurs on a server using Microsoft IIS software. Look for numbers after 500 as in HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error which means Configuration data is invalid.
You can then report the error to the relevant authorities to alert them to a problem.

With reference to the 2nd attachment-----500 internal error

I have altered NOTHING on my pc--went to the 'payment' page out of curiosity and lo and behold-----it would accept all my details.

It was obviously their end that had changed and is now [at least for now!] has returned to normal

I think you're right and that your second visit which returned the 500 error happened to coincide with an update at their end. Given that you changed nothing and didn't get to use the compatability possibles that what we suspected at the beginning was the cause and that their IT department has now upgraded their system to acknowledge and accept IE10.

Hello, Javascript is a computer language that webpages use to provide functionality on your web browser. It can do things like check that what you have input into a form is valid and other more complicated things. Most sites require you to have javascript enabled rather than disabled, but you can disable it in the preferences of your web browser - depending on which one you are using, IE, Firefox, Chrome etc, the process is slightly different.
