Eliminate weight in drop down list - how?

I don't want the weight for attributes to show in the drop-down list. Where do I go to and how do I change this?

Example: http://www.cebraonline.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=4

If one chooses "1000 ml - unscented" the additional charge shows and the weight (which I don't want to show).

Please confirm you want the weight but just doesnt wanna show there.

if so, you need to edit attributes.php file and remove the weight html .
let me know if you need more details on how to do it.

Actually, if you go to the Catalog ... Product Types ... EDIT LAYOUT ... you will see a setting for:

Show Attribute Weight
Display Attribute Weight on Product Info 0= off 1= on

I do want the weight to work in the postage calculation - I just don't want it to show to the public (in the drop down in attributes).

Thanks, Ajeh - I shall try your suggestion.

It worked beautifully btw, Ajeh. Thanks very much (plus I learned a lot by looking at this part of the admin section :-) )
