Internet Explorer has a mind of its own!!

99-2000 is allmost 8 years dude...opera 9.xx is the THE browser to use

upgrade to ie7

guys...thanks for the FF or Opera suggestions....but i prefer using IE

and my problem still remains....any suggestions for that yet??

the source ??
its W3c ( the guys who laid down the world wide web standards) , i dont think that these guys would be mocking up numbers or would they


anyways,
Dont wanna start Flame war
btw how are you doing ?? Still playin Quake pro ?

Wraith, that is simply IE functionality... when a page is done loading, it will jump to the front. It was a feature added in IE6 only iirc I'm afraid you're gonna have to live with that...

ultra, all conclusive data/info must have some source, right? You can't magically pull these numbers out of the air, right? Every company has different methods of collecting, compiling and presenting data. Why do you think Comscore and Alexa stats are never the same, yet 9 out of 10 times their trends and conclusions are similar. Similarly, W3C is getting their numbers from users who visit their website... and while it's representative of what the actual usage is, it can never be accurate (they don't claim it is either, read their disclaimer). Even Alexa, Comscore, etc. don't claim their data is accurate, however, they publish the source of the data and calculation method so companies/individuals using the data can make their own assumptions. That said, all traffic stats scream one thing... the Firefox userbase is growing faster than others

..WHAT you use M$ IE ... man i can't believe anybody with IQ > 1 using IE .. its buggy and lot of loopholes ...
get Opera / Firefox ( i think even Safari is good) or get Lynx
it is console/command prompt based browser

nope...its just started happening....i have been using IE 6 for quite sometime now

did you try TweakUI?

It could be something to do with your video card settings. I know that Nvidia "nView" has a setting somewhere to make a window active when mouse rolls over it... even if this isn't it, it may be related.

Thats a option you can disable from the registry, I'll post it when I find that tweak, its to prevent IE from stealing focus.

Meanwhile you can try this option

neither TweakUI nor the registry tweak is working

There's no such thing as the best best browser, otherwise everyone would be using that.
And no amount of convincing could make anyone switch from their preferred browser (I was perfectly happy with IE6 until the media scare came along).

I prefer Opera because you don't need 6 plugins just to get some basic functionality, everything is just so well thought out
That being said - a browser is just that, not a way of life

i think windows is only screwed up now....certain programes are shuting down without notice...

looks like its time to re-install windows...
