I'd like to use the drop-down menu and have it working fine. But on the shopping cart page, only the "item name" is shown (the generic title of the item), not the specific option they chose from the drop down (what PayPal calls the "menu option name").
E.g. I sell balls. I offer a Red ball, a Blue ball and a Yellow ball. The item is called Ball. When an customer chooses the Red ball from the drop down, the shopping cart just says "Ball". It'd be much more reassuring for the customer to see Red ball on the shopping cart summary.
Here's hopefully,
Tim
