Selenium. HtmlUnitDriver. How to enable JavaScript and Cookies?

Question

This is an error I get when I try to navigate to page, using HtmlUnitDriver:

JavaScript and Cookies need to be supported in order to use the site. To be able to use all of the site's functions, download and install one of the following browsers

WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.get(url);

Turn on JavaScript just by passing in true to the constructor. By Default JavaScript is false so you have to use following code for the same:

WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(true);
driver.get(url);

Tried this, but I still get broken HTML...some of the page content is in "noscript" tags. This means that JavaScript doesn't support some of the sites features? any workarounds? – mrk2 Apr 01 '14 at 12:31
