Adding attributes as dropdown gives radio buttons

I have added 3 attributes to a product as dropdown, but it is displaying them as radio buttons.

They also are all selected automatically.

Could it be that they are all set as selected as default, but how do I change it?
I can't see sutch option in attributes page?

Well I found the default setting and set only one as default value.
Seemed they all was as non default selected.

Nothing helped though. Stil showing attributes as radio button and all selected as default.

Re: Adding attributes as dropdown gives radio buttons

A link to your site to see the display would help, but you most likely have created the option values for the attributes incorrectly. You need one option name, and three option values under that name.

When there is only one attribute added to a product for a given option name, it will show as a radiobutton (since a dropdown that doesn't drop makes no sense). When you get more than one attribute for an option, you will see the dropdown.

Re: Adding attributes as dropdown gives radio buttons

Hello There
I have a question: in the option names there is an option type "file" I think is for the visitor to include a file to its order, I am setting up this option to upload an image file but all I get is the name of the image: Where is the actual file?
Does it get uploaded to the site server? If it does where does it go?
I would appreciate your king help
Thanks
Franco
