Netscape randomly redirecting to /null on my site

I've noticed 404's in my logs of people trying to get to /null on my site. I've always assumed that was hackers/probes and I just ignored it. But today I happened to pull up my site in Netscape 4.78 and noticed that about half the time it loads my page, then immediately tries to redirect to /null. My real page loads completely, then the /null thing happens.

I have google ads running, is it an IFRAME thing?

Thanks for any insights!

That's a good guess - NN4 doesn't support iframe. Try wrapping your <iframe></iframe> element inside an <ilayer></ilayer> element with the same src - that was Netscape's proprietary mark-up way back then.

The hybrid result should handle the problem.

I just wrapped it in IFRAME and it works great in IE6 and Netscape 4. I'll have to have somebody with Netscape [whatever's current] try it and see, but I think that's got it nailed.

Thanks for your help!
