(Works really well by the way).</p> <p>I got the form hooked up to the Paypal sandbox without a problem, but I've run into problems with the form pre-populating the State/Province drop-down in Paypal (when using a credit card for payment).</p> <p>I initially thought the problem was because I was using an abbreviation for the state (NSW) instead of the full name (New South Wales) which appears in the Paypal drop-down. So using plugin method suggested in <a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/abbreviate-city-fields" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/abbreviate-city-fields</a>, I created a plugin to hook gform_pre_submission hook().</p> <p>This didn't work. So I deactivated the plugin, and manually typed 'New South Wales' into my form, but Paypal still did not recognise it. The state drop-down was still blank, even though 'New South Wales' is one of the states listed.</p> <p>Can you help? Is this a problem with the beta Paypal add-on, or something else?</p> <p>Thanks, Bruce. </p>
