Description Jimmy Navarro 2000-10-21 19:44:36 UTC 
I use Netscape Communicator 4.73 that was installed with Linux.  I can no
longer load Microsoft main page at http://www.microsoft.com because of an
offending Javascript in most of their Web pages to pass only if criteria
fits:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
        var userAgent = navigator.userAgent;
        var MSIEIndex = userAgent.indexOf("MSIE");
        if (userAgent.indexOf("Win")  != -1 &&
                userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 &&
                userAgent.substring((MSIEIndex + 5),(MSIEIndex + 6)) > 4)
                window.location.replace("ms.htm");
//-->
</script

I tried KDE Web browser, the Konqueror, and it werks!

Not sure what this has to do with Bugzilla. This may be considered a bug against
Netscape 4.73, but I doubt it is still relevant.
