applet web page jumps in front

I often start a web page loading and then go work on something else. Some web pages have the obnoxious characteristic of forcing themselves in front of what I'm working on. I can be typing something in, in the middle of sliding a scroll bar, anything, and these web pages just blast what I'm doing and stick themselves in front of my nose.

What these pages all have in common is, they have an applet on them. It seems that the JVM forces a web page to the front whenever it has initialized an applet.

Is there any way to stop this from happening? Web pages should stay where they are until I click their taskbar button.

Thanks,
Allan
