There is a lot of cart web forms that just have a check box asking if your shipping address is the same as your billing address, isn't that easier to implement? Not sure the added vaule of seeing it "copy" from billing to shipping...

I think you're missing the main point, which may or may not be the fault of the article, that you can auto fill (secondary info) city and state by using (primary info) zip code.

Definitely missed that. 1) Is that US centric? 2) If no, why doesn't everyone do that?

Most of those just copy the data the same way anyhow, still in Javascript. I like the checkbox better, but it's not that different.
