The information bar only appears when something triggers it--like, for example, a popup being blocked. It's not necessary to "quickly press alt n", but merely pressing it will put focus on the information bar, at which point pressing the space bar will actually display the menu. It's a bit tricky, I'll admit--since, obviously, Freedom didn't implement any sort of tutor message or anything alerting users as to what to do in the event of the information bar being displayed, but according to the JAWS help system, the process I've just described is the method for accessing the information bar.

Adrian,
In other words, in the absence of an event like the below, the keystroke
does nothing? Also, when I do occasionally hear that IE has blocked a pop-up 
and then hear a message telling me what to do if I wish to see it, is it
then that if I very quickly press alt n, I'll reach some sort of control to 
use to say yes I want to see this pop-up? I've never responded to one of
those notices, so I don't even know if the response remains available for
more than a few seconds.
but mainly, if alt n will not simply take you to the Information Bar, is the 
Information Bar a real screen element that's always there, as is the Tool
Bar? Or is it a sort of mini command center that comes onscreen only if you 
click something with a mouse or press alt n upon receiving some sort of
notice?


Thanks.

From what Jeffrey says, alt-n brings up the information bar when IE blocks
something, such as a popup.  JAWS alerts us when that occurs.

Hi Jeffrey,

I'm relatively new to IE 7, and still in the process of finding my way
around it with Jaws. What sort of notification are you referring to where,
as I'm guessing may happen, you are presented with some kind of dialogue
with a couple of controls in it, including one for accessing the Information Bar for some reason, which you can activate with Alt N if you don't wish to 
tab to the control and press enter? I'm just imagining something like that
because, after reading your message below, I went to IE where I already have 
a Web page open, and pressed Alt N, thinking that this would take me to
something in the Information Bar. But since Alt N had no effect at all, I'm 
guessing that what you're referring to must be some kind of special
situation to which Alt N is one available response.

Would you mind explaining what sort of notification and scenario you're
referring to?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, I don't know if you can rename the buttons that you want to rename in
IE. However, when you get a notification in the Information Bar, you can
just press Alt + N to go to the information bar and get a menu with choices that let you decide what you want to do if something is blocked by IE. HTH, Jeffrey Check out my blog! The URL is http://jeffreyshockley.livejournal.com

Hi

Can I put a name or rename a button? When I press insert F5 in internet
explorer, I just get the 1,2,3. buttons. Are those numbers really the label 
of the buttons? And, how do you deal with the information bar? I mean, is
there a keystroke for that?

Jouie
