Mozilla keeps on reloading this page.  It is very short:

<html>
<head>
<title> V I  L  L  A - A C H T E R W E R K . V P R O . N L </title>
<script LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!--
if (window.location.host.indexOf("www.vpro.nl")<0) 
	window.location.host = "www.vpro.nl"
//-->
</SCRIPT>

</head>


	<frameset rows="85,85%" border=0 frameborder=0 framespacing=0>
	<frame name="feedback" src="/villa-achterwerk/interface/blanco.shtml"
marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no resize=no>
	<frame name="inhoud" src="/villa-achterwerk/interface/voorpagina.shtml"
marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no resize=no>

	</frameset>
</html>

I assume that setting "window.location.host" does not have the expected effect.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.villa-achterwerk.nl
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Mozilal reloads and reloads and reloads and never displays anything

Expected Results:  Show the entry page of Villa Achterwerk (a very popular
children's program on dutch TV)

May be related to 130409, but that esription is too vague to be sure.

<html>
<head>
<title> V I  L  L  A - A C H T E R W E R K . V P R O . N L </title>
<script LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!--
if (window.location.host.indexOf("www.vpro.nl")<0) 
	window.location.host = "www.vpro.nl"
//-->
</SCRIPT>

</head>


	<frameset rows="85,85%" border=0 frameborder=0 framespacing=0>
	<frame name="feedback" src="/villa-achterwerk/interface/blanco.shtml"
marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no resize=no>
	<frame name="inhoud" src="/villa-achterwerk/interface/voorpagina.shtml"
marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no resize=no>

</html>
Also on linux
OS: MacOS X → Linux
The given URL (http://villa-achterwerk.nl) doesn't exist. Updating to correct one:
http://villa-achterwerk.vpro.nl
URL: http://villa-achterwerk.nl → http://villa-achterwerk.vpro.nl
Confirmed on 2002072008/win98se

platform/os ==> all/all

> if (window.location.host.indexOf("www.vpro.nl")<0) 
>	window.location.host = "www.vpro.nl"

When it cycles, the status bar keeps saying "Loading
http://villa-achterwerk.vpro.nl" -- setting window.location.host is ignored?
