How to stop websites from controlling your cursor

[timrob]

Does anybody know how to keep websites from controlling your cursor?  For example, you go to yahoo, start quickly typing a new address while yahoo loads, then yahoo fully loads and forces your cursor to their search box.  Another example, you go to a website, while you wait for it to load, then the last thing it does it place the cursor in the websites searchbox (after all the advertisements and such have loaded).  It's nothing major, just an annoyance.

Use Firefox(click). A more secure browser that is just as functional but not as willing as Internet Explorer when it comes to websites being nasty.

Guess it won't hurt to swtich to firefox. I will do just that, of course when I get my computer back to work again.

You can turn javascript off in IE (and Firefox), but that will break other things...
