adding global product option through customer options tpl file
 

I have a drop down box i would like to implement on the product options for all products and i would like it to add to the price of the item depending on what selection someone makes.

here is my drop down box code

<td valign="middle" height="25">Need Protection?</td>
<td valign="middle">
<select id="po116" name="product_options[116]" onchange="javascript: check_options();">
<option value="171" selected="selected">No Thanks</option>
<option value="172">I am not ordering a Phone</option>

<option value="161">2 Year Protection under $250 (+$24.99)</option>
<option value="162">2 Year Protection under $500 (+$34.99)</option>
<option value="163">2 Year Protection under $750 (+$44.99)</option>
<option value="164">2 Year Protection under $1000 (+$54.99)</option>
<option value="165">2 Year Protection under $1500 (+$74.99)</option>
<option value="166">4 Year Protection under $250 (+$39.99)</option>

<option value="167">4 Year Protection under $500 (+$49.99)</option>
<option value="168">4 Year Protection under $750 (+$59.99)</option>
<option value="169">4 Year Protection under $1000 (+$69.99)</option>
<option value="170">4 Year Protection under $1500 (+$89.99)</option>
</select>
</td>

What i did was i made the option available for one product and then viewed the product in my browser and copied the source code for the section and then disabled the product.

I am wondering if i can place this code in the customer_option.tpl file so it shows up globally for all products and if a person makes a selection, will it modify the product price

Any help is greatly appreciated.

why don't you search for products, check all and add it to all products at the same time?

where would i add it to all products? Product options allows this but then i cant customize the way it looks.

i want the options to be within a table with a nice banner on the top and background images in the table to make it stand out.
