Getting rid of drop down in Apparel Product

That would require significant expertise Jeff. The dropdown is a form element, and Javascript processes those form elements in the process of the "add to cart" and other related actions.  I predict this will take a great deal of effort, potentially rendering this difficult to cost-justify.

Wish I'd read the WIKI first - it was already there. Should take my own advice a bit more often 

Hi, Oops, I trimmed it a bit to far. Try http://www.productcarthost.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1334&idcategory=131
The admin pages are also accessible via our demo launch page : http://www.earlyimpact.com/productcart/addon-apparel-demo.asp
The Blue Rope demo product is an apparel product with only one option group (length) attached to it and used to generate the sub-products. The reason for using the options to generate the sub-products, even though it is a single option group is to allow the features of an apparel sub-product (e.g. weight etc) to be utilised.

Hi Sean, The idea was to remove Blue as an option, because for this product it's not an option as the rope is only available in blue.
Your observation about setting the default sub-product is a good option though as it will set the color "option" to Blue so the customer no longer needs to set it, however the dropdown for color will still be there, so I expect many customers would click on it, if only out of curiosity about what other colors may be available. It is the least effort to implement though as the sub-products don't need to be re-built.
   

Thank you everyone for your replies. We just upgraded the version of PC a couple of week's ago and before the upgrade, and be I was brought on board, there was some code that was previously written to take the drop down away and of course with the upgrade, the code was over written.  I will continue with some of your suggestions and figure out what will work the best.  Especially since we are also in the middle of a complete re-design of the site.
