[thelist] international friendly form

Yes, one could. To make it foolproof then, you need
to database everything. You could have someone, if in the USA,
type in their five-digit zipcode, and the address, city and state
could be auto-populated. Hence, a dynamic, database-driven form.

Look at it another way: Someone who locks her car with any number
of locking devices (club, alarm, etc) will never be truly safe,
because if someone wants to steal a car, they will always find a way,
if even to tow it away themselves. Similarly, no matter how foolproof
you make a form, someone will always find a way to hack it.

But you can be from Salt Lake City, in the state of Alaska, with a zip code
from California, in the Country of Armenia...

I'd like to point you to a form on our corporate site
that may not be an end-all solution, but does help things out.

http://www.instron.com/cgi-bin/suggestions.cfm
All of the dropdowns (title, state/province, and country)
include an option for "Other" at the bottom. If someone chooses
"Other" they get a pop-up prompt window. I have extensive Javascript
validation
on this form.

Also, if you use Dreamweaver, you can find lists of
country/region/state/city codes
for dropdowns at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Garage/2001/dreamweaver/
by clicking on the code section.
