The read-only region
property of the ContactAddress
interface returns a string containing the top-level administrative subdivision of the country in which the address is located. This may be a state, province, oblast, or prefecture.
Value
A string specifying the top-level administrative subdivision within the country in which the address is located. This region has different names in different countries, such as: state, province, oblast, prefecture, or county.
Usage notes
In some countries, like Belgium, it's uncommon for people to provide a region as part of their postal address. In such cases, the browser returns an empty string as the value of region
. However, the address should still be acceptable to use for its intended purpose (e.g., to ship a product). However, always verify addresses to make sure what the user provides is usable.
