drop downs not working in V8

[reefkeeper]

we recently updated our site to V8 as well as added new templates.

in old site this page http://www.reefkeeper.co.uk/acatalog...ft_Corals.html
worked fine however in the V8 version i cannot get them too work has something changed in new version that i should be aware of or is it simply a newbie mistake i have overlooked.

what i am doing is as follows:

right click on product and add new component.
right click on choice and add new attribute called it size
right click on size attribute and add small medium large
double click choice and go to permutations
fill list with choices
assign prices
go back to product and change to sum of componenets

now this does not work on old data or new data.

any ideas

Hi,

The drop-downs look fine but the add-to-cart button isn't working. This looks like it is because there are no <form> tags on the page. Can you check your product layout and check if you have:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsProductFormUsed%22%20%2f%3e">
      <form method="post" action="<actinic:variable name="OnlineScriptURL" value="Shopping Cart Script URL" />"> 
         <input type="hidden" name="SID" value="<Actinic:Variable Name="SectionID"/>" />
         <input type="hidden" name="PAGE" value="PRODUCT" />           
         <input type="hidden" name="PAGEFILENAME" value="<actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" />" />
         <Actinic:SECTION BLOB='<Actinic:Variable Name="SectionCatFile"/>'/>
         <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsHostMode%22%20%2f%3e">
            <!-- Hidden field when in trial mode -->
            <input type="hidden" name="SHOP" value="<Actinic:Variable Name="HiddenFields"/>" />
         </actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

at the top and

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsProductFormUsed%22%20%2f%3e">
      </form>
</actinic:block>

at the bottom (see the attached image for how it will look in the layout in basic view)
