Website search closes and reopens some sites in IE8

XP Home 5.1.2600 Srvc Pack 3
IE8.0.6001.18702

"A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen
the tab."

Just entering a character in certain websites' Search Box results in the
"This Tab Has Been Recovered" msg after the site is closed and reopened.
BUT, if I paste a character string into the Search Box, the site remains open
and the search is executed in a proper manner!?! This happens on a few
websites including www.usps.gov

Have you tried clearing AutoComplete for Forms and disabling that feature?
Does that change the symptom?

Thanks Robert. That fixed the problem.
