Well, I may be a late commer to the game here, however, in case there
are some others, I have discovered something neat in the new IE5, it is
called the RadioBar.
The first thing you want to do is to make sure the RadioBar is always
displayed.
>From within IE alt-T for tools, O for options, tab to advanced
settings, arrow down to MultiMedia. One of the options there is to
show RadioBar, by default, at least on my setup, this was off, hit
spacebar to turn it on, tab to OK and press enter.
Now, if you use your Jaws cursor and look at the line just below the
address bar, you will find a line that has 2 or more columns they will
say something like radio in the first column, a bunch of spaces and
then radio stations. if you have previously selected any of the radio
stations from the web events web sight, you may also find the word play
before you get to the radio stations column. If you do find the word
play, if you left click it, you should start playing the last radio
station you sleected from that sight. Now, if you move over to radio
stations, and left click anywhere in that column, you should get a
listing of the last several stations you selected from that sight. If
you haven't yet selected any stations from that sight, I am not sure
what you will get, probably nothing! Along with the listing of
previous stations, you will also get an option to add the station to
the favorites, be careful, if you click this, you will be adding the
last station you accessed. Probably, to play it safe, make sure you
are playing the 1 you want to add.
Earlier, I posted a message all about the Web Events sight, if you need
it again, I can send it to you privately.
The only thing that would be nice is to have a couple of hotkeys, 1
that would access the last station played by moving the jaws cursor to
that play button and left clicking, sounds like a good script for
someone. The other scripted hotkey would be simular, a key that would
move the jaws cursor to the column that says radio stations and left
click, I am sure these hotkeys could be easily scripted by 1 of you
folks.
Now, there are just a few oddities with this radio stuff. If you add a
station to the favorites, for some reason, in order to get it to work,
you must first be running IE, usually with most favorites, you can just
access the favorite directly, IE will start and it will go to the sight
selected, however, for some reason, if you attempt to do this with
favorites set from the RadioBar, IE starts, goes to your default home
page and the station never plays, maybe a bug, maybe intensional, I
don't know!
