A string containing the name of the default country. If a country has not been set as the default, an empty string will be returned.

Example

The following example builds a drop-down list of countries. The default country is selected.

var defCountry = FCApp.GetDefaultCountry();

  <option

  <% if (CountryList("name") == defCountry) { %>

  selected = true <% } %> >

  <%=CountryList("name")%>

  <% CountryList.MoveNext; %>
