Internet/Web programmers, listen up!!!

If you program for an Internet page, be it on the World Wide Web or not, hear this! QUIT trying to steal the focus!!! People actually multi-task. (I know, the horror!!) and when we are reading one page while waiting for the second one to load, we do not want to be interrupted by the second page immediately stealing the focus. Worse yet, when we are on an username/password protected website (such as for online banking), do not automatically transfer the focus to the password box when we are still typing in the username box! (No, I'm not hitting the 'Tab' button, either. It happens all the time, though.)

Got that?!

Be glad I'm not an elected politican as I'd move to have it be criminalized.

So, if you don't want me to get any angrier and start to look up who is responsible for each page that is guilty and sending you a profane letter in the mail, stop it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU GOT THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Thank you.
