On a recent project, we were required to create a drop down list to display the UK s counties as part of a web form collecting users addresses. We assumed that this would be a pretty standard task and that there would be an abundance of pre-configured lists available on the Internet for download. After about an hour of research, it became clear that it was not going to be that simple. All of the lists we unearthed were either incomplete or out of date and it seems that we were not the first developers to run into this trouble.
As we were only interested in postal addresses for the web form, we decided it would be quicker and easier to compile vatican view hotel in rome our own list using the postal county data in this Wikipedia article. So here is a zipped file containing the HTML list as well as a XML list we created of the current UK postal counties. We hope this helps you out in some way. It may be worth just keeping these lists on file somewhere, you never know when you may need them.
Do you know how I would go about creating an html link from each town to a specific area of a site I am developing for a client? (i.e. Customer clicks their postal town to be taken to area of the site specific to that town?)
Like many others this has just saved me a whole heap of time trying to pull something together for an address database we are in the process of setting up with our colleauges in the US (who aren t that familiar with UK address formats and counties).
