How to make attribute required before moving forward

[screamingfingers]

I have searched and searched for an answer but have not a found one. I have a new store in zen cart. 1.3.9h. I want to make the buyer pick a color for an item before he can move on, otherwise he will purchase an item and we won't know what color he wanted. I am confused on what I found in the FAQ's and forums and I don't know what is applicable at this point.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Have you searched in the tutorials for "require attribute"? The first two articles in the results for that give all the information you need.

Ok when i set a attribute to an item like a color that must be specified and I enable the Required button on the attribute it is letting customers add items to the cart without giving a required attribute. What could be causing this??

How do I add attributes to my products? (near the bottom of the article)

Thanks for the reply, but I am not seeing what you are seeing. The threads I see don't appear about the same issue I'm having.

Then you are not describing your problem accurately or completely enough.

What exactly do you mean by "make the buyer pick a color for an item before he can move on"?
Seeing your site would probably help clarify the issue.

Go HERE, and try to add a ring to the shopping cart without first making a size selection...

Is this the behaviour you want?

Glen's advice is correct... to get the behaviour I demonstrate on my link, just follow the tutorials...
