[UPDATE] Comments are closed on this topic – The download is no longer supported or updated and has been removed
I have been looking all over the Internet for an AJAX or similar dynamic drop down tool for Country and Province/State selection (You select a country from a drop down list and the country/state drop down selection automatically populates with that countries list of provinces or states)
The good news is I found various versions, from ASP.NET controls, to simple JavaScript files, but the catch was that although I had the tool, the tool, didn’t have all the counties of the world, never mind their respective states or provinces.
So after much trawling, and searching, I have a complete world country list (including Antarctica) with their respective states and I have placed them all together into an XML file for ease of development use:
– [download#4] -Â [29.3 KB ZIP file]
Please leave a comment should any errors exist in the file, from broken XML, to incorrect spelling, to having a province not listed, I will fix it if it checks out.
Hope it helps.
[EDIT1 11/03/2008] – Removed Yugoslavia. Changed “Macedonia, Former Yugoslav Republic of” to “Macedonia”. Added Serbia and Montenagro, with states. Thank you omBRE for pointing out my error on the NoBox Media blog.
[EDIT2 24/04/2008] – Corrected spelling of Antarctica (Thanks Ryan) and updated the “Regions” in New Zealand (Thanks David for pointing that out over on the NoBox Media blog).
[EDIT2 08/05/2008] – Corrected spelling of Czech Republic, Thanks Tim.
