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,

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
