Loading state and county drop lists

[Angus]

Hey everyone

For my e-commerce site, I want to load the state drop list with all of the 50 2-character state abbreviations. I also want to load the country drop list with all of the countries (in the world, I guess).

There has to be a way to auto-load these into my drop lists so I don't have to manually type them all. Anyone have a way to do it ?

What do you mean auto load them? In the 2 hours and 39 minutes it took for this answer to come through, you could have already typed them all.

Just take someones code part containing all this info and copy and paste it.
Use a sophisticated text editor to get rid of all <option....> and </option> parts leaving you with just the countries.

BUT I MUST SAY I AGREE WITH THE BEANROASTER
