The problem:
dafault.htm redirects to default.asp. 
default.asp contains:

var a=0;
if(a=0){
window.document.location.href="http://www.spacewalker.com/english/default.htm?"+
Math.random();
a=1;
}

So we are sent back to default.htm?123432
default.htm?123432 sends us to default.asp again. -> loop

Netscape 4.78 and IE 5.0 (on Win2K) don't have the problem.  They both load the
page as expected and in the end display this address in the url field.
http://www.spacewalker.com/english/default.asp

Moz RC1 (2002041711) on Win2K reproduces the problem.
Confrimed on Mac OS X. 

Just my quick analysis (and I don't know Javascript), but is the problem that
it's "if(a=0)"  instead of "if(a==0)" so a is always assigned 0? If so, that's
purely an issue with the script. If "if(a=0)" is the proper syntax in Javascript
(which I don't think it is), then this bug should be worked on. Else, this
should be marked INVALID.
cc for javascript help...

phil, any ideas?

Resolving as WORKSFORME. Using Mozilla trunk binaries 20020715xx
on WinNT, Linux, and Mac9.1.

Just as Michael reported above, Mozilla now is taken directly
to http://www.spacewalker.com/index3.html, no problems.

Choosing a country and entering the site also works fine.
It looks like they may have changed the HTML at the site.

bugzilla@meskatech.com: if you get a chance, could you try
the site again with an up-to-date Mozilla build? If the site
loads OK for you, could you mark this bug "Verified"?
Otherwise, you can reopen it; thanks -
