Walter you made me doubt myself... LOL I've been integrating this new code
with the old form and the id's are different in the old form but I had made
those changes.
Event.observe('ajzip', 'keyup', cities);
<label class='column' id='labzip' for='ajzip'>5 Digit Zip:</label><input
type='text' name='zip' size='5' maxlength='5' id='ajzip' class='required
validate-digits'>
