jim.davidson Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm using Dreamweaver 8, mySQL 4.1.21, and PHP Here's my question: On a form that collects cutomer info, under the address I have a list menu of the states. Customer selects their state and I store abbreviation to my table. This all works fine, now what do I do if I get a potenial customer from another country. Maybe they use state in their address, maybe not, or worse their state would have an abbreviation larger then 2 characters or have to be spelled out. How can I get around this and still have the menu for U.S. customers?

cmgmyr Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 You can always use "other" as a choice in addition to the states, if they pick that you can use some javascript to show a text box where they can enter in something else.

jim.davidson Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 I thought about the 'other' option, but if I use that what happens to my table? I'm thinking I'd have to increase the size of states field from the current 2 to something like 50. Plus I'm like Sgt. Shultz on Hogan's Heros when it come to JavaScrpt "I know nothing".
