This is a website bug. I've known several sites which serve (or redirect) navigation elements or *content* from ad servers. InfoWorld did this for a time (they've since found more creative ways to utterly fuck their website), more recently, IDG has served content in frames, the content frame of which is redirected through doubleclick.(net|com). I simply inform such sites that they are not usable in present format, and stop patronizing them. -- Karsten M.
