specify value all?

[D. Wilson]

Hi,
I use FP 2000. Is there any add-on anywhere that would let me put a
tick in "Specify Value" for all choices in one go?
TIA

Where do you want to specify this value?

Where do you want to specify this value?

see this example at http://www.angelstarbrides.com/test-cart.html

I edit site selling bridalwear where colour choices of dresses etc are
copied from suppliers' websites for this site. As they use different
shopping cart I am having to adjust the values etc in the forms. In
our cart value is exact same as colour choice and I want to be able if
possible to put a tick at "Specify Value" for all choices at same time
as I'm having to do each one individually. hope I am making this clear
;-)
thanks

Ok I now understand, however both formats are incorrect.

<select name="Color" size="1">
<option selected>navy
<option>white
<option>ivory
<option>black
<option>daffodil
<option>mint
<option>hunter
<option>light blue
</select>

<select name="Color" size="1">
<option selected value="navy">navy
<option value="white">white
<option value="ivory">ivory
<option value="black">black
<option value="daffodil">daffodil
<option value="mint">mint
<option value="hunter">hunter
<option value="light blue">light blue
</select>

The correct format is

<select name="Color" size="1">
<option selected value="navy">navy</option>
<option value="white">white</option>
<option value="ivory">ivory</option>
<option value="black">black</option>
<option value="daffodil">daffodil</option>
<option value="mint">mint</option>
<option value="hunter">hunter</option>
<option value="light blue">light blue</option>
</select>

The easiest way that I can think of, is to insert the dropdown into the page in normal / design
view, add 1 entry, then switch to HTML / Code View and then copy and paste for the number of items,
then edit the colors or create in notepad with all of the color, paste into page and delete the
colors that don't apply to the item.

Sill a bit time-consuming even using above method but thanks for that
anyway!

You could try search and replace on the page in html / code view.
