In response to Matt I played with this for about an hour and a half before I gained any functionality. Here’s my code (my object is a TV Station, “station” and my method is “state”)

State:

I inserted a blank option field so if no state is given it doesn’t get set to AK or Alabama by default. The state will get set if it exists (for an edit type function) but if it does not exist it will be blank.

PS I had to restart the web server after modifying the state_select.rb file in the plugin.

I put together a list of just the postal codes - no state names - for the US. List was compiled from the USPS official postal codes list of the US and major outlying areas.

US_POSTAL_CODES_STATES = [’AK’,'AL’,'AR’,'AS’,'AZ’,'CA’,'CO’,'CT’,'DC’,'DE’,'FL’,'FM’,'GA’,'GU’,'HI’,'IA’,'ID’,'IL’,'IN’,'KS’,'KY’,'LA’,'MA’,'MD’,'ME’,'MH’,'MI’,'MN’,'MO’,'MP’,'MS’,'MT’,'NC’,'ND’,'NE’,'NH’,'NJ’,'NM’,'NV’,'NY’,'OH’,'OK’,'OR’,'PA’,'PR’,'PW’,'RI’,'SC’,'SD’,'TN’,'TX’,'UT’,'VA’,'VI’,'VT’,'WA’,'WI’,'WV’,'WY’]

Hey - just wanted to second what Timur said. Having the state postal codes is a big help. I used that as he posted, except I named it “US_POSTAL_STATES”. That seemed a bit more semantic to me.

Thanks - it’s a great help!
