problems viewing selected dropdown options

[TraceyHand]

Title sounds a bit cryptic but I had trouble summarising..lol

I have lots of products in my store that have a long dropdown of choices.
For some reason, when actually selected, some of these choices do not display correctly.

To being with, I thought it could be a space issue
eg http://www.jesterstrickbits.co.uk/ac.../HondaScr.html
If you highliught any option from the dropdown the price, which is entered alongside the model details, vanishes!!

It seems to be troubled by the space left in the choice description. It displays fine if the symbol directly after the space is a £ sign but NOT if it is another alpha-humeric character, from what I can see.

However, it gets worse!
on this page http://www.jesterstrickbits.co.uk/ac.../Extendas.html
When a choice is selected, the whole box goes blank!!

Now, fair enough, if you still click "add to card" it does work fine but it must be causing some confusion when you seem to be adding a blank choice?

Is it just doing this to me or is anyone else able to replicate the problem?
Thanks in advance

Both sites work OK for me, none of the problems you describe!

Thanks Malcolm,
I wonder, what browser are you using?
I've only tried it on FireFox at the minute (IE6 is on laptop only)
Maybe it's browser related?

IE6 works OK but Firefox is showing the problem but strangely only on 4 out of the 6 options.

yeh, Thanks again Malcolm, it seems to be affecting FF but not IE
Anyone know why this is?

There are three things to try.

1) Check Compact HTML/CGI (in Design / Options / Misc). This will greatly speed up your page loads too, as there's a lot of unnecessary text in there.

2) If that doesn't fix it, try editing Act_VariantListChoice.html and replace

<OPTION VALUE=NETQUOTEVAR:CHOICESELVALUE NETQUOTEVAR:ITEMSELECTED>NETQUOTEVAR:CHOICENAME

with

<OPTION VALUE=NETQUOTEVAR:CHOICESELVALUE NETQUOTEVAR:ITEMSELECTED>NETQUOTEVAR:CHOICENAME</OPTION>

3) Watch out for using the < or > character in your Choices. This could lead to invalid HTML being generated. Best not use these if possible.

Thanks Norman,
I'll work my way through those!
Never thought about the use of < and > That's pretty basic really! Thanks!!
