states aren't showing up for the shopper field

[jbomb]

in the shopper dropdown I don't see the states.  it's for this field COM_VIRTUEMART_SHOPPER_FORM_STATE VIRTUEMART

[jbomb]

one more thing.  I tried to add a dropdown field instead.  I can't add fields.  on the second field it won't allow me to edit it and it just says Mr in each field

Did you select a country first?  I also tried adding new drop down fields and that worked.  I did notice that the Title drop down list is not populating though...

[PRO]

For Mr.
its js error    insertRow is not defined

for state dropdown. YOU are talking about the front end right? Did you enable the "Using the Script ajax Countries / Regions"
In the "Templates" Tab?
IF you did, you might have a conflict

Was there ever  a fix posted for this.  I cannot get states to display in the front end when editing the shipping/billing address, eventhough my country selection is United States of America.

Imron,

jquery has to be loaded, and the "states countries" script needs to be loaded.

if it does not work then, look at the modules, menus, etc that are loading javascript

Did you ever get this working? I did what BanquetTables.pro suggested but even with no other scripts in play the state drop down still will not work...;(

I found out what the problem is, Virtuemart even with the new version insists on using outdated libraries. This is going to cause conflict with ANY extension that is staying current. I would ask that the VM team rethink using these outdated libraries and get on board with the other Joomla developers that have already registered through JApplication.

Code Select Expand

// load jQuery, if not loaded before
if (!JFactory::getApplication()->get('jquery')) {
JFactory::getApplication()->set('jquery', true);
// add jQuery
...
}

I automatically disabled Configuration > Tempaltes > "Using the Virtuemart jQuery" to stop jQuery loading multiple times. Was having exactly the same problem with Australian states. After banging my head for hours going through code, Enabling the option fixed the problem.

In VM2 I had this problem, the States were not showing in the dropdown, it only had --Select--.

I went to VM>Configuration and clicked the Checkout tab and checked the box for Language Javascript Fix.

Now the states are appearing in the dropdown box in the cart. The first time the Country was selected it didn't work, but after selecting the Country a second time, now the States appear in the dropdown.

Hope this works for you.

(See my joomla and Virtuemart versions below.) 

THE PROBLEM:
States do not appear in the drop down menu.

PROBLEM SOLVING:
I disabled any modules running Jquery.  In this case, once i disabled Front Page slide show and all of the sudden my States became visible. I tried every combination of Jquery in Virtuemart and FPP slideshow.  To test, identify other modules/components that run jquery, disable them, then check to see if the states appear.

It is definitely a Jquery conflict. 

THE FIX:
disable the module from appearing on your store pages.  This is the compromise I chose.

MY EXPERIENCE:
What a pain in the Ar$.   It took days to figure this out.

VERSIONS:
Tried this fix with all versions of Virtuemart 2.x
