Journal mjpaci's Journal: Web site form input *grumble*

Journal by mjpaci

Why do web forms trust me to enter in my name, address, zip code, birthday, et al. yet DON'T TRUST ME TO ENTER MY TWO LETTER STATE CODE. WHY MUST I PICK IT FROM A DROP-DOWN LIST OF STATES.

Half of the time the drop-down just includes the abbreviations, not the state names. If I didn't know the abbreviation to start with, how is this going to help me?

I know that New Jersey in NJ, Virginia is VA, Missouri is MO, Mississippi is MS, Michigan is MI, Montana is MT, and Minnesota is MN.
