Please look at my web site to understand what I am trying to achieve.
http://www.divemachine.co.uk/acatalog/Scubapro_Regulators.html
I wish to display to the customer the price of each selection in the selection boxes.
I also need to show the boxes one above the other with no spaces and the box header text right aligned to the box.

Anyones help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'd be interested in that too... but I dont think that we can have a dynamoc price...


my page http://www.flowertastic.co.uk/acatalog/Floral_Birthday_Balloon.html
has a similar problem.

I'm thinking of changing the layout to include "Price from £9.99 inc delivery"

The only way that I can see you doing this is if you included the price in the name of the component ie. Int A Clamp - £12.99

Yes, that's how we do it, for example, here:

In the list setup, you input the price, or the addition to the price, next to each list member.

I have a set of patches that will allow the total price to be displayed dynamically as the customer selects various options.

It still requires you to put the price in brackets as part of the product's Choice description.

E.g. Acme Thingy (£12.50)

The code picks up and sums all such choices and add these values to the product price on-the-fly.

This one isn't free however so contact me if interested.

Norman, thats sound interesting.

Currently I have the top (default) compnent say

Add Chocs from £4.99

would this fall foul on your code as there is a price on a non selected item?

If not what so of money are you talking, or is it on an individual site by site basis?

No. The code looks for prices within brackets () so anything outside brackets is safe.

what so of money are you talkingIt's not expensive. I can be emailed via the Forum if you want to know more.
