Need help with Form

Ok, i’m a graphics designer for a company and they’re getting me to start doing web sites for them… i have to make a order form and they want the state field to hide if the country is not usa or canada. i have been trying for hours to use a script i found. It works fine when i only have a couple countries, but as soon as i tried the whole list, it stopped working, the fields dont return anything at all.. Anyways, i’m struggling to get this thing to work right and it’s stressing me that i cant find the problem. Besides the fact that i have to get it to my boss as soon as possible.

I tried contacting the creater of the script but i havnt gotten a e-mail and i’m in a rush to get this done thanks to anyone who atleast takes time to look at all this crap lol

This is the main code chainedselects.js
