I need a "Country's State" code

wert · 02-20-2003, 08:02 PM

Hi there.
I have a form to compile my user's information, in this form I have a field "Country" and a field "State", what I'm looking for is a script that displays the list of the states in the "State" field depending on what country has being selected.
I know is not that hard to develop, but I dont know every State of many Countries, so what I really want from that script is the list of the states of several countries.

If any one have any idea whre to find it please tellme

Thanx

I've got something like that:

Will show the states if USA is picked, but not other countries.

But thanx any way

I picked this example off of the net somewhere. You'd have to fill in all the details, though.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<h1 align="center">Select a country and a state. </h1>
<div align="center">
<form name="form1">
<p><b>Country</b>
<select name="select" size="1" onChange="pop2();">
<option selected>Australia</option>
<option>USA</option>
<option>Canada</option>
</select>
</p>
<p> <b>State</b>
<select name="select2">
<option selected>NSW</option>
<option>Victoria</option>
<option>Queensland</option>
<option>South Australia</option>
<option>Tasmania</option>
<option>Western Australia</option>
</select>
</p>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function pop2() {
var currentlength = window.document.form1.select2.length
for (var i=0; i < currentlength; i++) {
window.document.form1.select2.options[0] = null
}
if (window.document.form1.select.selectedIndex == 0) {
window.document.form1.select2.options[0] = new Option('aussiestate1');
window.document.form1.select2.options[1] = new Option('aussiestate2');
}
if (window.document.form1.select.selectedIndex == 1) {
window.document.form1.select2.options[0] = new Option('USstate1');
window.document.form1.select2.options[1] = new Option('USstate2');
}
if (window.document.form1.select.selectedIndex == 2) {
window.document.form1.select2.options[0] = new Option('canadastate1');
window.document.form1.select2.options[1] = new Option('canadastate2');
}
}

</SCRIPT>

Here's another one - may be easier to configure:

<html>
<head></head>
<script language="javascript">

</script>
<body>
<form name="form">
<select name="country" onchange="pop()">
<option value="None">--- select ---
<option value="1">USA
<option value="2">Srilanka
<option value="3">China
</select>

<select name="state">
<option value="None">--- select ---
</select>

</form>
</body>
</html>

I got to thinking about this, and think it would be a real neat idea to have cities of different countries (not just the US). I've started a little something with the code I posted above:

Cities for Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, French Polynesia, and the US states are all I have up so far... out of 241 countries.

Good idea, thanks for posting this question - made me think.

could you put a select box with the continents first? europe, americas... so lazy poeple like me dont have such a big list to scroll through when it gets to the countries...

Quiet Storm · 02-23-2003, 12:40 AM

I'll look into it.
