What is FormItStateOptions?
FormItStateOptions is an assistance snippet for FormIt 1.7.0+ that will output an option list of U.S. states. It is useful for forms that need a dropdown list of U.S. states.
Usage
Simply add the Snippet to your form, in a <select> call:
<select name="state">
[[!FormItStateOptions? &selected=`[[!+fi.state]]`]]
</select>
Note how we are passing the value of the "fi.state" placeholder (which stores the value of the state field) into the selected parameter. This tells FormItStateOptions to select the last-selected option in the form.
FormItStateOptions Properties
FormItStateOptions comes with some default properties you can override. They are:
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| selected | The country value to select. | |
| selectedAttribute | Optional. The HTML attribute to add to a selected country. | selected="selected" |
| tpl | Optional. The chunk to use for each country dropdown option. | |
| useAbbr | If 1, will use the state abbreviation for the value. If 0, will use the full state name. | 1 |
| toPlaceholder | Optional. Use this to set the output to a placeholder instead of outputting directly. |
