If you disable JavaScript you should be able to close the site, that site relies upon JavaScript to work.

  1. Press Alt then T then O, this will open the Options window
  2. Go to the Content panel and de-select the option "Enable JavaScript"
  3. Click OK to save the changes

That should stop the jumping around and you should now be able to close the tab, you can then re-enable JavaScript

Hi there, thank you for replying so quickly! I actually managed to stop it jumping around but it refuses to x out. The website is called techsmartly.net-there is a box inside the window with a line from a song and an 'ok' box to click on-still makes no difference :-(
