I am working on an ecommerce website. We are showing the nutrition facts for each product and most products are configurable products and these products have different flavors. Since they have different flavors that means there is different ingredients and the percentages are slightly different.
I have made a custom attribute that is visible on front end and will show up if I put it in the configurable product, but I want to put the different labels in each simple product and then have a drop down so swap between the flavors (same type of drop down for selecting the attributes). I have a drop down setup and that replaces the text where I want it, what I need help with is dynamically populating that drop down and the array with the custom attribute values.
take a look at this test product I have setup. I have the nutrition facts in the sidebar through a Static Block that then point to a php file I have setup. http://hyperionsupps.com/test/index.php/red-bull2.html
CODE FOR STATIC BLOCK
Nutritional Facts
{{block type="core/template" name="nutritionalfacts" template="nutritionalfacts.phtml"}}
SIDEBAR CODE (Right now I have the array hard coded with the nutrition tables)
<script type="text/javascript">
