Bingo!

The features are implemented using JavaScript (some form of script is required for functionality like that).

In order for it to work I think you will need to enable "Run Scripts", but the fact you have it turned off probably means that there is a reason for it to be turned off on your machine.

The alternative is to enter the formatting codes manually, a list of the codes can be found within the FAQ here.
