Ok... uhh... I don't know if this belongs here or somewhere else, but I am quite freaked out now that I can't think of the appropriate place for it... Here's my problem: Internet Explorer keeps jumping between windows... I know it jumps out of goodwill to inform me that the webpage in the window is updated -(here it happens again)- but for someone like me who runs more than 4 webpages at a time and keeps switchin' and hitchin' and stuff this can be freakingly freakin'... Some webpages seem to 'update' frequently before fully loading and it makes IE really stupidly stubborn... Imagine your pointer sliding gracefully and sweeping for a click just to have the window changed and your pointer finds itself in another dimension... How can I disable this 'helpful' feature ? help ? -- Young Basic programmers never die... they just GOSUB and never RETURN.

I would also love an answer to this. The worst part is when the windows do it 4 or 5 times as they load. :mad:

Outlook does the same. Lucky the people who wrote this abortional UI aren't responsible for our overall GUI framework. Oh, wait...... Christian Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Cats, and most other animals apart from mad cows can write fully functional vb code. - Simon Walton - 6-Aug-2002

This indeed breaks the basic rules of ergonomic UI. You can't disable it without side effects. A lot of programs do things like BringToTop() or SetTopLevelWindow(), or SetFocus() using javascript. I guess you could disable javascript.:cool:
And I swallow a small raisin.
