Thank you, your psychic powers were working well for the second guess.
However, sorry to report it didn't address the real problem. I was hoping
that perhaps some standards violation on my part was causing the problem,
but have fixed that, and the JavaScript still hangs on reloading in
NetScape 4.7x... Exploring some of the other excellent links you provided,
and still hope to nail the bug... Code is not easily shared--it's from an
intranet site. Made an Internet version last week, but simplification may
have changed the nature of the bug...

Sorry, that wasn't a very good guess based on the small sample you posted.
My new guess is that you have
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript
src="http://w3.jp.ibm.com/apto/vitality/common.js"></SCRIPT>
in which case you need to quote the TYPE attribute value.
But again it'd be easier to guess with the URL.
