When you fill in a contact information form and the programmer has provided a drop down list of states, it actually takes more clicks than it would just entering the 2 character state abbreviation. Also, since NC is never in the top half of the list so you also have to scroll down. Seems to me that the programmer / web site designer is so enamored with the "cool" drop down feature that he never thought about the user. Further, when you have to put in a zip code, why not do the extra little bit of coding to look up the state? There, my rant is over and I feel ever so much better! <g> On Fri, Jun 6, 2008 at 9:27 AM, James Rankin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You may be right that it has improved.
