Dynamic Attributes

[razz2]

Here is the problem... Lets say you have a store selling photos.

 

Those photos come in 3 sizes - 5x7, 8x10, 13x19.

 

The photo is lets say $15 and when you hit the product page is says $15. There is an attribute drop down that defaults to "5x7". When you click the menu you see:

 

5x7

8x10 (+10)

13x19 (+20)

 

You have the sizes with attributes that increase price. All is good.

 

Now you add attributes for framing, matting, and mounting. Well, a 13x19 frame costs more than a 5x7 frame. A piece of 13x19 matting is way more than a 5x7 matting. Is there a way (without adding a bunch of javascript) to change the attributes presented for framing etc based on the photo size?

 

Example:

 

If 5x7 is the size selected the Frame attribute menu should say

 

No Frame

Basic Frame (+10)

Deluxe Frame (+20)

 

If 13x19 is the selected size the Frame prices need to be increased such as:

 

No Frame

Basic Frame (+20)

Deluxe Frame (+30)

 

The frames could be seperate products but then the user could be insane and pick a 5x7 frame with a 13x19 photo.

 

It could be Javascript but:

 

My fear is the issue of reading the change of the first size attribute choice with javascript. If someone disables javascript on their system then a mission critical pricing feature fails.
