Because the World Zones contribution uses HTML characters for the various accented characters used in some countries it WILL cause problems with osCommerce if a customer attempts to use this contribution by itself. osCommerce wasn't written to handle the special characters in state names and the drop down menus it will create don't allow for these HTML characters. If you use this contribution you should also install the Auto State Dropdowns contribution found at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6304

Version 1.2 of the Auto States Dropdown contribution will allow you to use any type of character you may need in the state name. File is attached here is the same as in the previous post.
