OK, I tested this with navigator 4.72.0.9, twice.

First, with javascript switched on, which worked fine, and loaded nice and fast (not surprising at 08:19 in a
Saturday!), and second, with javascript switched off.

And there's your solution. Javascript *must* be switched on for the redirect script to function, or you get the normal
'opps, try one of these links!' type pages.

Hope this helps!
