us_state_widget (public, deprecated)

 us_state_widget [ default ] [ select_name ]

Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/widgets-procs.tcl

Deprecated. Invoking this procedure generates a warning.

Returns a state selection box. This widget depends on the ref-us-states package. DEPRECATED for various reasons: doesn't comply with OpenACS naming convention, difficult to style, no good separation of Tcl and HTML, 'select_name' is prone to code injection and the proc depends on an external package. A better alternative would be e.g. implementing this using the templating system.

Parameters:

default (optional)

select_name (optional, defaults to "usps_abbrev")
