multiple products in one drop down box

I looked through some of the other threads and still have not found anything to what i'm wanting to do.

Is their a way to list products all on one page in drop down menus.

For example:

Products:
-- hooks drop down--
hooks 10-pack
hooks 20-pack
hooks 30-pack

[ Quantity box ]

-- paddle bugs drop down --
paddle bugs black 10-pack
paddle bugs black 20-pack
paddle bugs yellow 10-pack

[ Quantity box]

The website i'm helping on has several products in "packs" and the client does not want to have to go through multiple pages to view the products,
I guess i'm trying to find a simple way to have them all one one page.

Thanks for any help.

So you're saying the customer can select any quantity of paddle bugs packs, but they all have to be either black or yellow.

THere is no "simple" way to have individual products in several dropdowns on one page.
Are there too many individual items to fit on one page? Even if their listings are condensed to a single line each?

Sort of, Its hard for me to explain.

But basically we want to have each product listed by color and or type. then the customer can select from the drop down menu the quantity of the "pack" then fill in a seperate quantity box.

So they can pick "Black paddle bugs 10-pack" from the drop down menu, then put in how many packs they want in the quantity box.

I was hoping it could be done by editing the php script for product listings, but I have yet to find it.

thanks for the reply.

You would need to pretty much completely rewrite /includes/modules/your_template/product_listing.php and /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php.

Probably also a separate version of /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_tabular_display.php.
