Is it possible to implement Dependent Option Attributes?

[gcparris]

Hello. My first post on the forum!

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to implement option attributes that can be made dependent on one another. i.e. If I select "Attribute 1" in my first dropdown, I can choose "Choice 1" or "Choice 2" in my second dropdown. If I select "Attribute 2" in my first dropdown, I can choose "Choice 3" or "Choice 4" in my second dropdown.

I need this because only certain combinations of Attributes and Choices are available. Currently for all Attributes, every single Choice is shown.

Can you make the second dropdown content dependent upon what is selected in the first dropdown (or radio button selection)?

A specific real world example of the data I am using is as follows:

DropDown 1
---------------
Cherry shell
Santos palisander shell


Dropdown 2 (when "Cherry Shell") is selected
----------------------------------------------------
Chromed frame, felt glides (£100)
Chromed frame, nylon glides (£120)
Polished aluminium frame, felt glides (£200)
Polished aluminium frame, nylon glides (£220)


Dropdown 2 (when "Santos palisander shell") is selected
----------------------------------------------------
Chromed frame, felt glides (£300)
Chromed frame, nylon glides (£320)


Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Gareth.

This cannot be done as standard, you'd need some custom work put in place, making it probably not viable. It has been discussed a few times on here before, might be worth trawling the search results for any pointers. Javascript will play a part at some stage no doubt.

I think Norman @ Drillpine.biz had something which could do this, or something similar IIRC.
