Hi, i’ve got to re-design my signup form so that it will allow the user  
to select their country (e.g. UK), and then the appropriate county (e.g.  
ESSEX).

Managed to find the code to display any possible country + country  
codes…

Now trying to couple this to a simple county / state select list box.

Any clues? thing is, there are so many possible combinations maybe I  
should just poll state options into a database and scrap the tzinfo  
listbox plugin?

Dunno, appreciate some ideas, 😉
