Hi:
I have a (series of 4) 2-char input field(s) (vertically oriented in a
crowded part of my screen) in which the user will input a U.S. State
Abbreviation (e.g., AZ for Arizona), or a Canadian province (e.g., AB for
Alberta), OR, click a key to return this correct abbreviation.
I have, of course, a concordance file with all the correct names and
region abbreviations.
But, my problem:
If my user knows that the input U.S. State name should be the correct
abbreviation for (say) Minnesota, but does not know the abbreviation itself
(i.e., MN), how can I show the user a drop-down list of States & Provinces,
from which the return value will always be the proper abbreviation, and
*not* the full State name ?
I don't know how to configure the <Select > tag for this operation. My
head is aching here
Thanks for a kick in the pants on this one !
