Auto complete/Validate User Input

[lloyd_borrett]

G'day,

When using some online shops when entering the billing and shipping addresses I see fields like the City/Suburb, State and Postcode being auto completed and/or verified.

Here in Australia we can access from Australia Post a list of valid place names with the state and postcode as a CSV file. So it would be possible to put this information into a database table and use it to auto complete and validate user input.

Has anyone done this, or something similar, for Zen Cart?

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett

I've seen a store using this Google API with success: https://developers.google.com/maps/d...te-addressform

Since the API uses the geoLocation service, the customer will need to "opt in", i.e. allow their location to be shared, for the interface to operate.
