Example config not working. about jquery.addressfield

Mmm. So it's possible the docs aren't obvious about this, but you need to provide a list of countries yourself.

I suppose it would be reasonable to use the countries provided in the JSON as a fallback if an element is provided for country that is empty, but that'd be a new feature.

You shouldn't need to capitalize the country property; perhaps fixing the above (by providing your own select list of countries) will fix that issue?

You can also check out http://tableau-mkt.github.io/jquery.addressfield if you want to start from somewhere with a working form example.

Okay that fixed it! Initializing the country dropdown with some valid choices and setting the fields.country object back to lower case did the trick. In my case I do need every from that list so manually populating the select box would not be fun, but I can figure out a way to populate it from addressField.json.

I would recommend putting a few placeholders in that dropdown, maybe like this:

    <select id="country">
      <option value="US">United States</option>
      <option value="CA">Canada</option>
      <option value="BR">Brazil</option>
    </select>

also, I think it would be very cool functionality to populate the country dropdown when it's available but empty and it would take care of this use case which I'm sure will come up again. I'll try my hand at extending addressfield in my fork and see if I come up with something adequate.

Thanks!

Good news is that #55 is in. We just need to update docs/examples.
