Validate input in a form based on a list?

[conneticat]

Is there a simple way to make a field on a registration form comply to a hidden list? I want to limit the zipcodes that can be entered on my form to those in my list...all 439 of them. I don't want to have a huge drop down list, however. Any SIMPLE solution? I can't muck around with javascript, fancy code, etc. right now because my brain has no free space and needs defragging.

why not just a simple list with size limit.

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <label for="my_list">state:</label>
  <select name="idddd" size="5" id="idddd">
    <option value="AL">ALABAMA</option>
    <option value="AK">ALASKA</option>
    <option value="AS">AMERICAN SAMOA</option>
    <option value="AL">ALABAMA</option>
    <option value="AK">ALASKA</option>
    <option value="AS">AMERICAN SAMOA</option>
    <option value="AL">ALABAMA</option>
    <option value="AK">ALASKA</option>
    <option value="AS">AMERICAN SAMOA</option>
    <option value="AL">ALABAMA</option>
    <option value="AK">ALASKA</option>
    <option value="AS">AMERICAN SAMOA</option>
  </select>
</form>

no need to for javascript or anything....
you could then use javascript to requie the field or better yet server side PHP,ASP etc..
