Permutations and dependent choices

[elvis84369]

Hi All,

I hope some one can help me - As I have found no definitive answers to my problem so far..

Basically, I have a Product that has an Option - "Fabric Type" which, once selected, needs to open up a new set of options that are dependent on this Fabric Type choice,

For Example - If the customer chose Leather as the Fabric Type, I would like to be able to show a drop down list of the different types of leather that is available for this Fabric type (Leather range 1, Leather range 2..)
. If they chose Vinyl, as the Fabric Type... I would like a drop down for the different type of Vinyl fabrics that I offer eg (Vinyl range 1, Vinyl range 2..)

Is there a way to have a choice in a drop down list (In this case the Fabric Type) automatic effect the available choices in other drop down lists (In this case the fabric options)

I have a tried changing the valid options for various permutations, but as I have found from other threads and my experimenting you have to show all the options in drop down list (ie.Leather range 1, Leather range 2, Vinyl range 1, Vinyl range 2..) and then after they have gone through to the cart the customer is told that the permutation is unavailable, which is not really very satisfactory..

Thanks in advance if anyone can help...

Hi,

I'm afraid that this is not really possible as Actinic web pages are static. I can only suggest that you name your choices as:

Leather - vinyl 1
Leather - vinyl 2
Leather - vinyl 3
etc
