* Hi,
* Got a couple of issues you should probably know about:
* When adding “text areas” your code generates
``
* textarea is not a valid HTML input type
* Your code should read
* ``
* Secondly I’m unable to add countries. Please could you tell me how to do this.
My country list is quite long although I’m happy to post all 196 of them if you’d
prefer to do it yourselves…

* Sorry for the late reply to this post!
* Thank you for notifying us of problem text areas! That’s something we’ll certainly
be working quickly to fix.
* As to adding countries: what we would need to get them added would be the country
name, any states/provinces/territories/etc. (if applicable to the country), and
whether it uses postal code or postcode. Essentially whatever the address format
for the country is.
* If you’d like to add the countries yourself (we certainly wouldn’t mind at all!)
just let us know how we can contact you to provide you the details on getting
this done!
* Thanks.

* You already have a default Country field with a twenty or so “important” (to
you, ostensibly) countries. Why not simply expand this list to include all the
ISO countries?
