I need the ability for a customer to enter their own value for the price of the product instead of giving them a choice. Did anyone do this?

I tried making option field and then changing it from SELECT field to input field but value passed is the idoptoptgroup from the options_optionsGroups table instead of the actual option value.

Thanks for any suggestions.

We have done this for a few clients. It involves custom programming of the viewprd.asp (and related files) to check for specific SKUs and then displays a field for the $ amount instead of the quantity. Then instprd.asp is modified to handle processing of the entered amount to add the item to the cart.

You could create the product as $1 and use the Qty. field as the amount unless you doing this for a gift card where it would generate a special certificate code for every dollar.
 
The problem with your situation is the idoption is hard coded to to the options table and you would have to modify the code to reroute the table for idoptopgroup which would change the settings for all options.

Thanks,
