Re: Multiple ID's and pull-downs
Well, I got it working (this exact thing) in Minivend. I used a drag down menu
which set stuff to be ordered. shirt one would have a drag down and the user
could select a type of product (XL RED or XL BLUE) Couldn't figure out a good
way to make it so that a user could order a red and blue XL shirt1, but still,
it can be done.
