attributes: radio buttons not working

Hi all,

The store I'm working with is really starting to come together; thanks
for all your help, everyone.

At the moment I'm tryng to add attributes to one specific product, a
concealed, inside-trouser gun holster. The customer should be able to
specify right or left-hand draw. I added two attributes to the product
-- radio buttons; one for right hand and one for left hand draw.
Updated the store, looked at the product, and the radio buttons are not
working.

I'm using Netscape 4.7 (PC), if that matters at all. Am I doing
something wrong?

You can see the product in question here (mind the word wrap):

Thanks!

LOL... strangely enough, I'm starting to appreciate all this paramilitary
gear stuff. Perhaps I'm spending too much time with this catalog...
heehee...

I'm using the plain ol' Merchant admin. So it's Miva's fault! ;)

What I did was I went into "Categories," then to "Holsters," found the
product in question, hit the Edit button, clicked over to Attributes,
added an attribute (right hand draw, radio buttons), updated, and added
another attribute (left hand draw, radio buttons).

Thanks for looking.

Charlotte,

Your source code shows that you have <Input type = "hidden"> instead of
<Input type = "radio"> for the Right-hand draw radio button.

This would cause it to not display.

Charlotte it seems you have one attribute with one option, where you need to
have two options. The attribute "Right-hand draw" should be an option, just
like "Left-hand draw". The attribute setting is the parent setting for both
options and is itself not a selectable option. So you'd want to make the
attribute something like

(code) Draw
(prompt) Please select the draw type

Then you'd add your two options.

Regards,
Bret.

Charlotte,

When you first add an Attiribute and you are using a Radio Button or a
Pull-Down menu, the first thing that you add is the Prompt, for instance:
"Please Choose the Side From Which You Would Like to Draw Your Gun:"

Generally, you would check this as required and price it at $0.00. Then,
after you hit update, you will have the places to add your Options (what the
customer can choose from)-- Left, or Right. If you were going to charge
more for these options, then this is where you can add the costs.

Remember, this is for Radio Buttons and Pull-Down Menus only. With
Checkboxes and Text-Entry Fields, the first thing you type as prompt is the
prompt for each field.

I hope I haven't confused anyone, :-)

Thus adding a new meaning to "dress right" or "dress left"!

How are you specifying the attributes: with Merchant admin or another
method...cause the form elements are written incorrectly....
