Hey all. I was making a Bill of Lading for a client and I figured I would share something I made for it as I know some people look for something like this all the time.

In the dropdown list it will display the full name of each Province (Canada) or State (USA) and then once selected it will convert it to the 2 Letter ISO 3166-2 code and fill in the "Country" field value (Canada or USA). It will also display the full name of the Province or State for the tool tip if you mouse over the selection. You can re-order the list for US states first if you want to. It is currently Canada first, then USA but it is alphabetically sorted.

Hope you all find it useful.

// OPTIONAL: "Change" event - This keeps field to 30 characters if manual text entry is desired. Adjust for more or less to taste.

if (xfa.event.newText.length > 30) {

xfa.event.change = "";

}

// OPTIONAL: "Enter" event - This opens the dropdown list on entry so you can use the "AutoComplete" feature.

xfa.host.openList("$");

// REQUIRED: Create a dropdown list (name does not matter much) and then a text field or dropdown list called Country. Copy and paste the Province and State names below to the dropdown list menu. The space between Yukon and Alabama is intentionally kept to visibly seperate the Canada / USA entries.
