You say you want a unique description for the option... so let me give an
example
to see if this is what you are talking about.

Say the items you are selling are the following two servers:
IBM xSeries 330
IBM xSeries 332

Now, someone has selected the model 330, so you take them to a page with the
optional "add-ons" with choices like the following:
+ 1 Gig Memory
SCSI Drives
Advanced Graphics Card...

So, you want the description for the +1 Gig Memory to be something like
"Expand your RAM on your IBM xSeries 330 to 2 Gigabytes"
so that the description is based on the product being "built on"???

So the only thing differing between each of your 10 frames is the
description of
option to add?

If you are unsure of how to do something like this, I would question the
idea of
doing a shopping cart with flash. I have been tinkering with a shopping
cart I
build in flash for the past two or three months and it is still not where I
want it.
