RE: [mv] set shipmodes - how to make it work?

[Brian Knotts <bknotts@slappy.org>]

Boy. I always ask the tough ones, eh?

Well, anyhow...I tried something a little different, which *almost* works, but
not quite (the drop-down menu defaults to upsg after the page updates):

================================================================================

[if scratch restricted_shipping]

        <SELECT MV.OPTION="mv_shipmode"
                onChange="this.form.submit()"
                NAME="mv_shipmode">
[loop arg="motor"]
    <OPTION VALUE="[loop-code]"> [shipping-desc [loop-code]] [shipping [loop-cod
e]]
[/loop]
        </SELECT>
[else]
        <SELECT MV.OPTION="mv_shipmode"
                onChange="this.form.submit()"
                NAME="mv_shipmode">
[loop arg="upsg"]
    <OPTION VALUE="[loop-code]"> [shipping-desc [loop-code]] [shipping [loop-cod
e]]
[/loop]
        </SELECT>
[/else]
[/if]

================================================================================

So, how about it? Is anyone doing anything like this, where you are only
allowing certain shipping modes, based on a flag for certain products? Any
method to accomplish this would be helpful, even if it is quite different from
what I'm doing above (and below).
