Re: IE Information Bar, Pop-up Blocker and JFW5.1

Sometimes when I enter on a link and it is blocked, I just route my JAWS cursor to the link, hold the shift key and then click the left mous button. By doing this the page usually opens up.

Hi All.

Okay, as I've mentioned here before, just got a new computer...In IE explorer, there's now a pop-up blocker, though that may have come from my ISP, Comcast. In the FAQ, it says I can unblock popups from websites by clicking in the Information bar, which is supposed to be below the address bar. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it, nor a way to use it with JFW 5.1.

also, (sort of Off-topic) why is it that when I click "Turn Off Popup Blocker" in the Tools menu, it still blocks the popups? Don't get me wrong; I don't want ads and all that garbage...But Comcast's website seems to use popups when you click on certain links, and instead of opening a new browser windo, it just says "A popup was blocked"...Same with the "Open Link in New Window" link in Yahoo!'s search results. In order to open these links, I have to use shift+enter instead of just hitting the "enter" button. It doesn't seem to matter if I turn off the popup blocker, add domain names to the approved list, or even set its block level to "Low".

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
