Gday all,
I have a question for the computer gurus out there in relation to web browsing. Ill try and explain my problem and please forgive my lack of tech terms or descriptions :-[.
When I surf the net Ive usually got a couple of windows open, with three tabs per window. Ive noticed that some web sites seem to take over and jump back onto the screen when moving in between pages on another tab or window.
Whilst moving between the pages on CS for example (ebay is another special for this) I flick over to another window to continue browsing. Just after Ive changed to the new window, CS/ebay then pops back up onto the screen.
When this happens, the window tab at the bottom of the screen isnt depressed, so you cant navigate around that screen with the mouse until you click on the screen somewhere, and you have to click on the original window twice to get it back.
I know its a minor annoyance, but an annoyance it still is.
Is there some setting on my browser (IE8) that can rectify this, or is it just a feature of some sites that they are grabby and its something that I have to learn to live with?
FWIW, Im happy with IE (faults and all) and I dont want to install another browser.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
