[thelist] international friendly form

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Can't speak for other countries, but in the UK there's a
nice product which allows you to put in a house number &
postcode, and it returns the entire address, either as fields
or as perfectly formatted (for mail purposes) text.

Used a lot in call centre applications, but I've seen a few
sites using it too. Yes, there are also applications which
map people onto that too, and lots and lots of geodemographic
data.

More from http://www.caci.com and http://www.experian.com

Cheers
Martin

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.
