I would say "California". I have an image of this dialog, http://w1.611.telia.com/~u61107843/mozilla/cert.png that shows the details that are being displayed to the user. "L=", "ST=" and "C=" seems to mean location, state and country. "State" is not really applicable in Sweden, e.g. Stockholm is not a state, so in our help file we mention country instead of state as an example of the details displayed. -- Hasse _______________________________________________ mozilla-documentation mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-documentation
