product options
 

I have a product for men's shirts
I added an option called "color"
and the option list is
- Select a Color
- Blue
- Red
-Yellow

then i tryed to add exception to disable first selection
if (product_option('color').selectedIndex == 1)
{ alert('You have not chosen a color'); return false; }

but nothing happens???
where did i go wrong?

How to do product exception
 

please can you help me there ...

try it with the index as 0 (zero)

needs work
 

the product exceptions need serious work to make it easier, i also don't like the part that it does'nt work untill you hit add to cart button, it would be nice if it worked when the customer choose the pull down menu

I agree that the product exceptions are a little funky. It would be nice that if a previous selection disallows something in the current selection, it wouldn't even show up as an option in the dropdown. Has anyone been able to achieve this? I know it's possible, just not sure about the x-cart integration.
