How best to display hundreds of options?

[rbobzin]

A project came roaring back to life this week demanding to be front and center, so I'll try again to see if we can find a solution to a sticky issue.

The products for this store have several different attribute names, two of which have 100+ values each. The issue is how best to display all these values (swatch images, of course!). We've looked at 2 different approaches so far:

1. Expand/Collapse tabs for attributes. This add-on seems like the ideal solution, but I can't figure out how to separate the attribute names into their own tabs. Does anyone think they could help with this?

2. Using an EZ-page for each attribute name would be another way to go, but I can't figure out how to work it so the shopper can select an attribute value from the EZ-page and that value then automatically gets input to the appropriate attribute on the product page. (Hope that makes sense!) Anyone have any ideas for that?

I'm always open to other suggestions, and any help would be much appreciated!

I am working on a topic like this right now - did you figure out a solution to this?
