完全な状態名をhtmlドロップダウンの短い値に変換するcaseステートメントを設定します。（はい、冗長に見えますが、複数のデータセットが入ってくるので必須でした）
これが私のケースステートメントです
var state_switch;
//document.write(temp[1]);
var state_case = temp[1];
//document.write("state =");
//document.write(state_case);
switch (state_case)

上記でコメントアウトされたプリントアウトをテストして実行しましたが、取得したデータは正しいものです。デフォルト値を「IL」に変更すると、ドロップダウンにイリノイが表示されます。ただし、それがstate_caseの値である場合、「イリノイ」はキャッチされません。
