I tried a different format on this as I wanted the login box to remain but the new customer form to be inserted at the top, next to it (in the place of the box "new customer? Click here to register"...

I inserted {include file="customer/main/register.tpl"}

in place of the

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_new_customer content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra='class="FLCDialog"' valign="middle" is_flc_dialog=true}

This seemed to work but the "STATES" became disabled enabled in the form.

So I put it back while I figure this out. Any idea why moving the register.tpl into that place rendered the STATES pulldown useless?
