Permutations problem

[greyhound]

Hi,

I have a test site on:
http://s253203886.websitehome.co.uk/

I have pages where there are a choice of size and colour:
http://s253203886.websitehome.co.uk/..._Sunsuits.html

I then also have pages where there is only a choice of color:
http://s253203886.websitehome.co.uk/...n/Nappies.html

I put in some knowledge base code to force the user to select an option.

Problem: Where there is a choice of size and colour everything displays correctly.

When I have a choice of just colour it works when none of the permutations are set to valid.
BUT, it does not work when I set the "please select" to invalid and the other permutations to valid, it ends up showing two option drop downs (ie. duplicates itself). See below URL for example.

I have spent nearly a day going around in circles and cannot work out what is going on. Can someone please help.

Thanks

Fixed but dont know how

Hi,

I seemed to have fixed this - I believe I managed this in the same way that enough moneys and typewriters would write a shakespear play eventually.

If anyone could shed some light on this it would be great.

What I did:

Went to the layout:
ComponentAttributeList >> ComponentLayout >> ComponentAttributeList >> PermutationLayout >> PermutationChoiceList >> PermutationChoice

I then commented out the PermutationChoice layout which solved it.

I know that in order to have options and monitor stock in itself, like most things in Actinic redicoulsy complicated but if anyone could explain to me why this has fixed the problem I would be most grateful.

Right - better crack on as I have untold amounts of time to waste achieving the simplest of operations within Actinic.
