[ic] query user selected item-modifier xxxx outside of basket?

[Chris Jesseman]

Hi

Is it possible to query which color/size selection a user selects on a fly page 
without adding that product to the basket? 

For instance, I want to have users select a size color combination on a 
flypage, click "Check Inventory", and be able to query the inventory table for 
availability of that size color combination- WITHOUT adding the product to the 
basket. I also want to bring up the matching color image with a simple refresh 
click...

BTW- I'm using an Inventory scheme described on this page.

The bad thing is that 170 products in one clothing line equal to 5,414 
permutations of available size and color combinations.

Thanks,

Chris
