The "Enable JavaScript" box is found under the Content tab. I unchecked the box. Using Rob-ART's suggestion leads to the "Add-ons Manager," which then shows the Java Applet Plug-in as disabled.

If you don't have Java Preferences, you may have a more recent version of Java than JE 6. You can use the command line to find out which version you have by entering "java -version", if a pop up asking to install Java shows up that means you don't have Java installed on the Mac at all.

Mountain Lion does not include the "Java Preferences" app. Instead, there is a Preferences pane.... and no control inside that which will allow you to disable Java system-wide.

Also, forget about online banking/trading as well. Disabling Java is not a viable solution. Oracle needs to get their act together.
