Shipping country default UK

[lessharma]

Hi,

Is it possible to have the shipping dropdown menu default to 'Unitied Kingdom'. So when a customer is in the checkout the shipping country is set to 'Unitied Kingdom' instead of 'Select country' ?

So they will only need to use the dropdown menu if they want another country (not UK).

AFAIK this is one of these bits of codes where actinic just adds stuff in that you can't change.

- The quick and easy solution is just to promote 'UK' up to the top of your country list. It's then much easier for your UK customers to select.

- If you really want the UK selected by default, then you'll have to remove the line that says "<option value="">Select country" (with the UK at the top) or add a 'selected' tag to the UK option so it says:

<option value="UK" selected> United Kingdom

I have no idea how to do this so Actinic will generate the code you want. The only way I can think of doing it is to copy the actinic generated code, comment it out and the place your own version below it that does what you want.

i.e.

<select id="lstInvoiceCountry" name="LocationInvoiceCountry" tabindex="8" onchange="InvoiceCountryChanged();">
<option value="UK">United Kingdom
<option value="AD">Andorra
<option value="AM">Armenia
<option value="AU">Australia
<option value="AT">Austria
<option value="BY">Belarus
etc
etc
<option value="">
</select>
