You still need to offer a manual selection option, because it's just not always accurate. Once I was investigating geo-location services while on the road to a show (my wife driving, me working using a Verizon MiFi hotspot). At one point I was identified by (I think) GeoIP as being somewhere in New Jersey, while actually in the middle of Utah on US80 -- that's 2 time zones away :-) Speaking to the original problem: I agree that for user-friendliness, you might have to bite the bullet and hand-tailor the dropdown list; however, to minimize the size *as displayed*, could you include a JavaScript routine to examine the client time and restrict the list to the subset that would match that time? There's only so many TZs where it's currently e.g. 12:17pm :-) Just a thought. -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroe...@gmail.com http://about.me/hassanschroeder twitter: @hassan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
