[Blind-Computing] expanding tool bars
Hi I have been having troubles with my college website. I need to post a certain number of message posts on particular class websites. Starting in JAWS 10 the text boxes where one posts text messages disappeared. So, I tried satogo.com. This worked for a while but now it is giving me mixed results. One message I did receive was that the tool bar was collapsed. Is there a function in JAWS 10 or IE 8 that will automatically expand all tool bars? IF not how does one expand the tool bars manually? I appreciate any ideas.

I am going to install IE 7, just as soon as I can figure out how to turn my Avast anti virus off. Tried to install earlier and it suggested I turn it off. I tried to install without turning it off and it wouldn't allow me to do that. So, IE 7 will have to wait a little longer. Thanks again.

The differences in these versions is that you have tabbed browsing. I like it cause you don't have to open up another web page in another new window. I also like the RSS reader built in. HTH buddy.
