state field missing from new customer form

[G. Michael Jean]

Hi

I found a javascript function in code of the ecommerce app that was
causing me problems to register a new customer.  The file is
~/ofbiz/applications/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/customer/newcustomer.ftl
and section is:

----------snip--------------------------------------------------------------------
     function hideShowUsaStates() {
         if (document.getElementById("customerCountry").value == "USA"
|| document.getElementById("customerCountry").value == "UMI") {
             document.getElementById("customerState").style.display =
"block";
         } else {
             document.getElementById("customerState").style.display =
"none";
         }
     }
----------snip--------------------------------------------------------------------

This code prevents any non-US user from registering a new account
because it hides the state field on the form.  After commenting this
code it works fine and displays the state field on the form.  I am not
sure what the goal of this function is but I am wondering if it might be
reconsidered because of the issue it causes.
