When the form submission URL does not use SSL, the message could say "Information entered here is publicly visible." When the form submission URL does use SSL, the message would say "Sending this information to <name>." where <name> is the site identifier shown in the status bar. I'll write a separate post with my thoughts about what kind of site identifier is best (in my opinion). -- ?!ng _______________________________________________ Mozilla-security mailing list Mozilla-security@mozilla.org http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security
