Maybe Netscape 4 likes your code but Netscape 3 doesn't.

This site locked up my Netscape 3 Win 95 browser as well.

This JavaScript totally overwelmed my browser and most of my computer

for better than 10 minutes before it gave up and I got my browser and

computer back.

You might want to consider a different technique.
