Window Popping

[Kerryd]

Found another site that does the same thing, tigerdirect.ca

If you click on a link and then minimize the page (or maximize a different page, or open a different program altogether), as soon as the page starts to load, it steals the focus, even if you are in the middle of typing something somewhere else.

So, the 3 sites I've found that do it are:

ThaiVisa

Amazon.com

Tigerdirect.ca

and gmail...

It doesn't happen with gmail for me...

funny, i use maxthon and don't have this problem at all using ad hunter and thus effectively blocking all ads, including popups and adsense

even though i did turn ad hunter off, pages still open up in the next tab, no problem at all, i hope this helps

It was a bug in a stat javascript we used. Glad it's gone!

Great work guys ! Now I can have my usual 6-7 windows open at once without problem

(now if you could pass that bug-fix on to those other sites like Amazon.com and company)
