Multiple Attributes (forcing an option)

[jayhands]

Hi there,

I am currently designing a website for a furniture company. What the client is looking for is to sell a widget that has particular attributes for colour. So, for example, there will be a product called widgets that will then have a drop down menu displaying colour options such as blue, green, orange etc.

Here Is The Example (http://www.justautomate.co.uk/acatalog/Leather_Collection.html)

Now, the client would like to force the user into selecting an option. One way to get around this is to set one attribute as 'please select a colour'. However, if no colour is selected then 'please select a colour' is carried forward to the checkout as a default instead of an actual valid colour attribute.

Does anybody know of a better way to get around this problem at all?

Thanks in advance.

You have it right on the Maria 2 seat sofa, where the only options are colours and one is selected as default.

If these cut these attributes, insert a component called colour with an HTML name of Choose your colour, and mark that as required, then paste the attributes back into the component, it should work as you want.
