Douglas,

Try modifying your database design to check for the options, even obscure
ones like (say) all-wheel drive.

You then merely have to "loop" through the field of, say,
options/accessories and substitute a form field (or better a picture) if the
model supports that option.

I can send you demo code if required.

Have a good one!

I have an outomobile application to allow dealers to put their inventory
online etc...but the car options, such as power steering,brakes,seats is
set static on the pages and I want to make them dynamic and allow the
dealer to be able to add additional opions if needed. The layout I have
so far is as follows. I imagine I need to add another table such as
[optionsList] but which will be the pri key table blah blah blah

[inventory]
id
this table hold make, model, year etc..

[options]
id
inventory_id
this table hold the options associated with the inventory...
