Size 5 > Size 6 > Size 7 > Size 8Depending on how many variations you have, this can go several ways. In all cases, I recommend using [include] to help you maintain consistency throughout your site.1) All products that are sizeable use the exact same list of sizes, and you have a database field called [needsSize] that is 'T' or 'F' if the product needs a size popup. --- SizePopup.inc --- Size 5 Size 6 Size 7 Size 8 Then use [ShowIf [needsSize]=T][include SizePopup.inc][/Showif]2) There are just a few different lists of sizes Create SizePopup1.inc, SizePopup2.inc, SizePopup3.inc, each of which have the unique lists of sizes in them. Add a field to the database called [SizeType] that indicates which type of size poup it needs, 1, 2 or 3Then use [ShowIf [needsSize]=T][include SizePopup[SizeType].inc][/ShowIf]3) There is a huge variety of size lists, basically unique to each product Either put the literal HTML for the whole popup into a field in the database, or create a related database (linked by SKU) that has all the size listings in it for each SKU.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
