Does anyone know how I can make the second dropdown box dependent on the first?
For example, for the option name color, i have pink and blue. for pink i have sizes small, medium, and large but for the color blue i only have size small. how do i make it so when a customer chooses blue the size dropdown only display size small rather than all three?
also the two dropdown boxes are too far apart from each other. the color dropdown is like 1 inch above the size dropdown box, how can i make them closer together?
i have searched the forums repeatedly but i was unable to find a thorough answer as to how to do this. any help is much appreciated. thanks.

Re: attributes..second dropdown dependent on first?
What you are seeking is product by stock and this is not a capability of Zen Cart right now.
What version are you using and post a url for assistance on your boxesZen-Venom Get Bitten

Re: attributes..second dropdown dependent on first?
Re: Your first question
The way I handled this is to describe availability in the product description (Note that Yellow is only available in size Small), and then to validate the attribute combination when the user presses "Add to Cart." A description of how to do this validation in Javascript is given in
http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zencart.html
Catching the dropdown box change to "Yellow" and repopulating the size box with just "Small" could certainly be done in Javascript. However, it would annoy users who selected "Large," then "Yellow" and then pressed "Add to Cart;" they would see a "Small Yellow" in their cart and wonder why. The validation route is probably the better one.
Good luck,

Re: attributes..second dropdown dependent on first?
Improved attributes handling is a feature planned for (I believe) the next release of Zen Cart. This will be out "soon", as in "as soon as the team can get it finished".
