Is there a free auto-complete model for adresses ? And if yes, what is it ?

Hi.

So I'm working on a form for my job, and my superior has asked me to find a way to generate the right city and the right postal code based on an address. So I've heard that Google Maps offer this kind of auto-complete option, but it's not free (we're a small business). Is there a free way to do it, maybe with JavaScript ?

Thank you.

You need to use or (||) for multiple strings, like this:

if (event.value === "Walmart Inc." || event.value === "Walmart" || event.value === "walmart")

Hi, I have a little problem with the code. When I write the subsequent adresses with "else if", it completes the city and postal code field with the correspondant answer of the first adress. When I only write "If" for every adresses, it automatically fill the correspondant city and postal code fields with the last adress data. How to solve this problem ?

Post the script you tried or the actual file (with script inside).

You can use this as 'Validation' script of "Address" field:

var city = this.getField("City");
var postal = this.getField("Postal code");

if(event.value == "Address1"){
city.value = "City1";
postal.value = "Postal code1";}

else if(event.value == "Address2"){
city.value = "City2";
postal.value = "Postal code2";}

else if(event.value == "Address3"){
city.value = "City3";
postal.value = "Postal code3";}

//add more 'else if' if needed

else{
city.value = "";
postal.value = "";}

Just change field names to your actual field names.
