Dropdown list shows US state

Hello
I have a pretty standard ASP.NET page where a user is required to
enter their address. For the field "State", I am using a dropdown
list of course. What is the best/easiest way to populate this control
on a page load? I do not want to have to have a table in my data
source that has all the US states. Is there a web server or
something?

Thanks,
Dave

Surely you are not a dummy and are using Visual Studio.net? ;-)
Put the control onto the form, select the control, and try using
Properties > Misc > Items (Collection) to see if that approach
is okay with you..

Here is a SIMPLE problem that I'm trying to solve. It works in Netscape 6.2, but IE6 gives ""No such interface supported." Below are page1.htm and page2.htm . In page1.htm, there are two dropdown lists. If you change the selection of the left one (e.g. choose parentoption2), it should open up page2.htm in a popup window.

I have two dropdown lists. Both have autopostback set to true. In both dropdowns, when you select an item from the list, it redirects to the Value property of the dropdown. Nothing fancy. Let's say you select 1 of the items, and are properly redirected. You press the back button. I have three servers providing two different functionalities: 1. After pressing the back button, the item you selected in the dropdown is still selected.

I'm trying to setup a dyamic dropdown list that displays a number of text fields based on the selected number in the dropdown. The problem I am running into is capturing the data already entered before the list is repopulated. For example, suppose the user selects 3 in the drop down list and 3 text fields are shown. If the user populates the 3 text fields with data and decides to change the drop down to a list of 4 or 5, how do I capture...
