Creating 'country lists' drop down forms?

**Swerve1000** · 04-30-2007, 08:16 PM

Hi, and great to join the community

I'm just learning webdesign and using DreamWeaver MX,

I'm trying to create a form, which needs a list of countries (like you see on many sites), but do I really have to enter each country 1 by 1 or is there a way I can Copy and Paste the list into the form at all?

I've made the list, but after doing that, this will also take forever.

Any tips?

Many thanks!

You can use two options to create an easy drop-down list. 1) You can use your list to feed an array for a server script to create (like PHP), or you can use a regular-expression replace feature in a text editor (like PSPad)

What our mod mgraphic said is the correct method to do this.

But you still prefer "Copy and Paste" use this
