I have read all of the previous post that I could find pertaining to this problem, but I can't seem to find my solution.
I have option files that are working perfectly on product pages, but the options selected (size, color, etc.) are not passed to my cart and email message.
I have changed Cart Display to show every item on the drop down list, but all seem to return a blank window. Also verifed that "no" has been selected in Multiply by Quantity within Cart Display.
Below is the code from one of my option files. One item that I have not seen addressed is . . . I have copied these option files from my older version install (4.0) and pasted to html/options in my current install (4.0K-4b). At the moment, I have the same problem with my older version, but I SWEAR it was working in the older version at one time.
Also noticed that the "|" character is used on each option within your examples. My option files do not use this character for each option. I tried adding this character, but results never changed.
