2009-08-30 Thread Søren Jensen
If it's a normal toolbar and Voiceover says: "Toolbar button," this button is used to hide the toolbar. You can hide the toolbar by pressing VO spacebar on the button. Best regards: Søren Jensen Mail & MSN: s...@coolfortheblind.dk Website: http://www.coolfortheblind.dk/ On 30/08/2009, at 18.4

Hi, since you're using Leopard, what you'll have to do is interact with that heading, and then you'll see the link. IN Snow Leopard, you won't have to do this, the link will just be there. On Aug 30, 2009, at 1:09 PM, a radix wrote: > Hello everyone, i am on the blindcooltech website because
