safari keeps jumping back to top of page iPhone

when I visit certain sites such as
http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=13104141
my phones safari app will keep bouncing back to the top of the page making it literally impossible to read the article. try it. open safari on your iphone and click the above link and then try to read the article.
why does it do this? seems abc news is the only one that does it too.
another issue I am having is on certain sites a popup will cover the screen and when I try to scroll sideways to get to the X to close it the app, the ad moves with the scrolling to keep center of the page. if you try to zoom out to see the whole ad, then the X is too small and you wind up just opening the ad trying to close it.
and I have pop up block enabled.
fortunately the popup issue doesnt happen alot so I dont have a link to provide an example but the abc news thing happens almost every time I go to google news and happen to lick on an interesting article that happens to be by abc news.
is there any solution to these issues? if not is apple working on some?
kind regards and thanks for any info, suggestions or advice.

I went to the link and it opened fine and I read it fine.
Are any of your fingers running along the top of the screen?

no. thats the first thing I thought of. it doesnt jump on mac safari, and you wouldnt need to zoom in on an ipad.
I say this just in case you went to the site on your ipad or mac.
do this from your iphone and be sure zoom in and then to scroll around alot. (side to side as you scroll down)
now it also could be some weird thing that happens when you zoom in. to read the article I have to pinch in enough to scroll sideways as well as scrolling down. I cant read microscopic print.
it doesnt jump until you attempt to scroll the page around scrolling to the side or to the bottom of the page.
I know not the touch the top of safari as that does indeed bounce it back to the top. and since this only happens on abc news and nowhere else I am thinking its them somehow.
my current guess is some ad that makes the page reload or something.
