I need to change the html output for displaying a kitt, I have looked around and my conluestion is that the html table build up in a the ablecommerce.dll, Am I right?
Im not looking for some small changes which I can do in the css file, I totaly need to redesign the html.

You can customized the HTML of Kit options and choices by editing the following files:

~/App_Code/ProductHelper.cs

The functions which are generating the output HTML includes:
1. BuildProductOptions()
2. BuildProductChoices()
3. BuildKitOptions()
etc.

Nearly all the code that is related to User interface or representation can be found in the
"~/App_Code/" folder. This is because a customer can easily custimze the User Interface or his/her website.

Naveed,
Can the kit code be set up to where the customer doesn't have to select something? That is the way it was in 5.5 and several of us really need that now. I can't start using the kits without it.

Judy,

Maybe I am missing what you want but you can make a kit and include hidden items to it. So it is a kit but there is nothing for the customer to select.

Thanks, but what I need is a kit with several select boxes, but the customer doesn't have to select anything additional if he doesn't want to.

When Adding / Editing a Kit Componet if you choose "Input Type" as a "DropDown" or "Radio Button" then you can specify the Header Option value. I think this is what you require. Now when adding kit products in kit component did not make it selected. So, when the kit product options will be rendered the Header Option will be selected instead of any Kit product.

Thank you, Naveed. It wasn't in the earlier versions of AC7 and I didn't even check RC3, I just went on grumbling.
