Infobar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An infobar is a widget used by Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and other programs to display non-critical information to a user. It usually appears as a temporary extension of an existing toolbar, and may contain buttons or icons to allow the user to react to the event described in the infobar.

An infobar is increasingly seen as preferable to dialog boxes because it does not interrupt the user's activities, but rather allows the user to read extra information on their own time.
