I used the bulk add/predefined option when adding a dropdown box to my form and populated it with the list of countries (excellent feature btw).
My problem now is that I need it to return the 2 character ISO country codes from the value attribute rather than the country name. Has anyone found a solution to this? Bear in mind I'm not sure I can upgrade to the beta yet as this for production use.
This is only possible with the bulk add in the 1.4 beta release which is nearing a public release.
Ah ok, thanks for letting me know.
For anyone looking for a solution I used the following:

}Give the function an ISO standard country name or code as it's argument and it will return the corresponding code or country name.
