Hi Mitch; Try the following to get your address bar back. This is a note I saved / stole from our esteemed moderator Mister Justice. LOL
It sounds like your address bar has somehow moved,and that is why it is not performing as expected. Try this: 1. While in Internet Explorer, go to the view menu, and then open the toolbars sub-menu. 2. Arrow to, lock the toolbars, and if it is checked, uncheck it. 3. Route Jaws to PC, and then go to the top of the page, and then search with the Jaws cursor until you find the word address. 4. With the cursor positioned on any part of the word, address, do a double left mouse click. 5. Now, return to the PC cursor, and then try the F6 key to see if this puts the URL into focus. 6. If this works, return to the view menu, and then the toolbars sub-menu, and check, lock the toolbars. If you cannot focus on the word address, you may need sighted assistance.

Hi all. just recently I am unable to bring up the address bar to see what web address I am on. I am running windows xp sp 3 and IE 6 with jaws 7.0. I used to be able to hit the f 6 key and bring up the address for the website and now I can't do it any more. instead it just brings up the tool bar and says close button then when I say yes to it it closes. now when I hit f 6 it doesn't do anything. I find it really frustrating. I have even tried the key stroke alt d and even that doesn't work. any help that any one can give me with this would be grate. from Mich.
