Country select list - Yes, again

arulz · June 5, 2020, 12:03am

I know this has been asked before, but what’s our current best workaround for getting a “select country” list into our forms? (Not ecommerce, just regular forms.)

Assuming that maximum number of items for select is still 100, and adding them all is a huge PITA
Maximum characters for custom code is 10,000 (not enough to copy/paste the required HTML)

I see on other posts (e.g., Adding Country List in Contact Forms - #6 by sabanna ) there was a JS option posted, but the code snippets seem to have disappeared.

Any help? Otherwise I’m just gonna get people to type in their own country and I’ll deal with the typos.

Do it: add the 100 countries in the dropdown, come back here, make a post to share it, for the community to copy and paste on their own sites, be a community hero

Hahaha, ok, here’s what you do.

STEP 1: Add a custom code box into your form,

STEP 2: Find an HTML snippet for a country select (e.g., Country List for Form Menu <== you will need to use the one with the 2-letter country code, for reasons you’re about to see…)

STEP 3: Paste into custom code box. See that it has more than 10,000 characters (but only slightly. Good thing you used the one with the 2-letter country code ).

STEP 4: Quietly “trim” a few country names that are excessively wordy (e.g., “Macedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of” = “Macedonia”. Sorry Macedonia.)

STEP 5: Pick a few countries that you suspect you will never, ever, ever see a customer from. Delete them. You are now under 10,000 characters.

…

profit.

The JS option is still available, you just need to click on the link in the thread you referenced.

thank you! life saver

rps · December 16, 2021, 1:59am

How how do I style this popup? It seems to ignore my Height styling in px

avivtech · December 16, 2021, 6:24am

@rps you mean the select options? The list?
This is a native browser/OS element, but!
Watch out for @Finsweet 's new attribute system for that !

rps · December 16, 2021, 3:31pm

The initial selector only. Funny, it is taking my % based width, but I also need the height defined. I have popups styled the same way, same class even, elsewhere on my site, but this code based one for some reason is ignoring my height definition.

@rps can you share a link?

DuncanHamra · April 12, 2023, 12:55pm

Hi all I had the same problem and was inspired by @vincent’s challenge to try to be a community hero

I used ChatGPT to whip up a page that can turn any comma-separated list into a native Webflow input. (It’s free for anyone to use).

Here’s the link to the tool.

Type or Paste in your list of options (I used ChatGPT to generate my list
Click Copy component.
Paste your new select input right into Webflow

BTW, the thread mentions a limit of 100 items, but I haven’t noticed that myself I believe the limit has been removed or raised.

vincent · May 3, 2023, 8:28am

Haha, that’s very, very cool Duncan! I really hope I remember it exists when I’ll need it!
Thanks for release this for the Community!
