Maybe javascript doesn't have a function to return the time zone name? His timezone is UTC -8, but it's daylight savings time so the offset is UTC -7 Take a look at http://browserspy.dk/date.php it says I'm "GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)" & the text should be Eastern Daylight Savings Time for whatever it's worth, cygwin gets it right: $ env | grep TZ TZ=America/New_York $ date +"%Z %:::z" EDT -04 Regards Lee _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
