State & Country Selection

[dreamingdigital]

The company I'm making this new site for sells their products all over the world. Our shipping back-end needs a 2 letter code for the state and country correctly populated by the customer. Instead of having a mile long list of states/provinces I want to have dropdown list for the state that gets populated by which country is selected. Is there a module that would function like that? I could use this Javascript from Dynamic Drive http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex16/chainedselects/index.htm but I'm not convinced it's worth the time programming in all the states nor am I convinced I can successfully program it so when the customer goes their customer screen if they're logged in the correct state and country will be auto-populated. What do you guys suggest.

The original poster is making reference to a feature that has little if anything to do with the Country Select bug.

As to the original poster's question, this probably isn't practical from the standpoint of either MIVA or a MIVA Partner coming up with simply because the inputting and updating of the "states" would be daunting. Not to mention that not all countries have "states." Canada for example has provinces.
