Stupid IE and certain websites

I've come across a problem IE does with certain websites. (being a noob, i don't know if this is a feature or a glitch).

For example, going to biowares website for neverwinter nights, it always popsup the entire window, even if I"m reading or doing something else. But its not a pop-up in the conventional sense, because my pop-up blocker just lets it go. Its almost like it loads the page, then forces you to read it.

Any way to turn the damn thing off?link
 
Arghh, its driving me nuts!!!!

I don;t know how many broadband users still practice the ol dial-up habit of multiple IE windows to browse.....especially since biowares website is so freckin slow. It keeps bringing it to the top!!! ARGHHH!!!!

Hmm, didn't do anything odd for me. Using NIS's pop-up blocker.

K, try this, click on the forums, or something.....go back to whatever you were doing (on another IE window)....after the bioware page loads it forces you back onto it, even though you were reading another page in a seperate window.
 
It appears that the site is calling the window.focus() command once the page is loaded. For example:

<body onload="return window.focus();">

While this is annoying, I can't see how it's an IE issue, because JavaScript allows windows to set focus. It seems more like a website issue to me.
