Populating State and City Fields based on Zip Code

    We are using Gravity Forms as part of our user registration. For users within the United States, we'd like to dynamically populate State and City when a user enters their zip code. Our primary goal is to keep city names consistent in the DB, so we don't want users to have to enter them manually. I also thought there must be an easier way than using conditional logic and creating a field for the cities for every State.

    Is there a way to call on our location database to achieve this?

  2. You would have to write jQuery that checks the zip code against a database or XML file and then populates the fields accordingly. I don't have much guidance to provide on this, it's a customization and isn't built in functionality so it would require custom jQuery and code in order to implement something like this.

    You can find a list of developers or post your own job here to find help with your project.
