IE - one popup is overwriting contents of another popup...

[Guest]

Hi,

We are using IE 6.x with all latest patches. The problem explained below is
found both in Win2K Professional or Win XP.

We have an application, when connected, will open a new window with
maximized display and closes the parent window. This concept and the
application is working fine, except when user opens another browser window
with a different pop-up.

To explain further, assume that a user has connected to the application
(running in Intranet). It opens a new browser window with Login screen and
closes the parent window. Then the user opens an all new IE instance (from
desktop or quick launch toolbar)tries to browse a site that pops up
advertisements (for e.g., yahoo, msn), the pop up advertisement of that site
is overwriting the contents of the application window.

When I try to simulate this on my PC, it works perfectly fine, with the
advertisement opening in a new window than overwriting the contents of the
application window.

Does anyone has any idea why IE behaves this way and is there a way to
resolve this?

Thanks for the help.
