A dropdown list, that when a product is selected, only shows the options for that product by opening a new div, this div can hold more options, images, anything. You can create an unlimited number of hidden divs on a page. You can use this if you have more than one form on a page.

Many other features, this script is not free as it took me all day to build.
Cart Contents
Send all of your form products to the cart and have them in one total price, but with each product field on its own line. This script took me hours to build, so it isn't free.
Send to cart, but stay in the same window this refreshes the page, so removes the qty.

Discounts
News! Discounts
Both individual discount coupons and/or a discount table can now be linked to a single product or a group of products. This is done using the optional scode (SKU) field which can be added to your Buy Now buttons.
When defining a discount coupon or table you can now restrict its use to those products which either equal or start with or end with a particular scode (SKU) value. So for example, you could define the discount as being applied to only products starting with an SKU of 1111. In that case products with an SKU of 1111AAAA and 11113333 will be included in the discount but not 11222.
There are some assumptions made in terms of the logic of how it works, in particular:
- 1. A percentage discount is applied only to the products in the group, not the whole order.
- 2. Free shipping discount on the other hand is applied to the whole order if a match is found.
