HTML Country Code

What is HTML Country Code?

HTML does not have specific country codes defined within its standard.

However, when it comes to specifying country-related information within HTML, the commonly accepted approach is to use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes.

These are two-letter codes that represent countries and are widely used across various systems and standards.

For example, if you need to indicate the country of a user or display country-specific information, you can use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes within your HTML markup or JavaScript code.

Here's an example of how you can use country codes in HTML:

    <!-- Additional country sections -->
    
    <script>
      // JavaScript code to handle country-specific logic
      var countryDivs = document.getElementsByClassName('country-info');
      
      // Loop through the country info divs
      for (var i = 0; i < countryDivs.length; i++) {
        var countryDiv = countryDivs[i];
        var country = countryDiv.getAttribute('data-country');
        
        // Perform country-specific operations
        if (country === 'US') {
          // Do something for the United States
        } else if (country === 'GB') {
          // Do something for the United Kingdom
        } else {
          // Handle other countries
        }
      }

You can use these country codes in various contexts, such as within form fields, data attributes, or JavaScript functions, to handle country-specific logic or display relevant information.

It's important to note that while ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes are widely used, they might not cover all geopolitical entities or regions. In some cases, there are additional codes defined for specific regions or territories.
