attributes and choices - problems

[completerookie]

V8.02 (designer trial mode)
I've created a new product - "seat"
created a new attribute called "seat Width"
created a new choice "18 inch"
created a new choice "20 inch"
and preview the page - the page displays as expected.
the code generated is as follows:

<span class="text_options">Seat Width</span>
<br />
<select name="v_1_1" class="form_input_general">
 <option value="1">18 inch</option>
 <option value="2">20 inch</option>
</select>

but I expected to see something like:

<span class="text_options">Seat Width</span>
<br />
<select name="seat_width" class="form_input_general">
 <option value="18inch">18 inch</option>
 <option value="20inch">20 inch</option>
</select>

the main difference being the < select name= and the < option value="20inch"
i've included the space to prevent display issues within the forum and added the odd line feed in the quoted code to help with the readability.

so how do I control

• the name of the <select
• the value of the option

How does the "option values" show up in the order details or am I worrying about something that is really irrelevant ??

You are worrying about something totally irrelevant.

If you add a second attribute, you will see that it takes the name of v_1_2 - but when these items get to the shopping basket, they will be correctly translated back into Seat Width - 18 inch.
