User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

It appears that setting location=<some non-absolute URL> does not work in a form
submit javascript.  I created a copy of the script that prepends
location.protocol + "//" + location.host + "/" to the value and it works.

The page works in IE 6 and Galeon 1.2.13.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.mckinneyllb.com/schedule.asp
2. Select a team in any league.
3. Nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Show a team schedule (example:
http://www.mckinneyllb.com/schedule.asp?teamname=Red+Hawks&team=638
)

Tried on 2 different firefox 0.8 installs (both win2k pro), one with a few
extensions, one with almost none.  Same results.
