I use "pother3" to store features, it contains inline values "1B,4,16" for example and they are displayed in a dropdown (commas automatically separate list values).

What I need to do is look up 'pother3' values and display a list of JPEGs adding

"images/color_swatches/<%optionValueHere%>.jpg"

resulting in 

"images/color_swatches/1B.jpg" <br> 
"images/color_swatches/4.jpg" <br>
"images/color_swatches/16.jpg" <br>

and so on, in short - to display an image somewhere below, as long as it's name is mentioned in the dropdown (pother3 of that product).

Any help is very much appreciated.


this is needed for color swatches, but since every product has 20 different features, and feature set differs from one another per product, the built in feature is not working for this purpose.

The file that creates the drop downlist when you use the selectlist option is shopproductfeaturesgenerate.asp. Modify Sub GenerateSelectList to include the images. For me, the code is
for i = 0 to parraycount
sSelect = sSelect & "<option>" & Parray(i) & "</option>"
next
sSelect= sSelect & "</select></p>"
addfeatureimage images
If images<>"" Then
writefeatureimages images
end if
Response.write sSelect

Replace those lines to
for i = 0 to parraycount
sSelect = sSelect & "<option>" & Parray(i) & "</option>"
images = images & "<img src=""images/color_swatches/" & Parray(i) & ".jpg"" style=""vertical-align:middle"">" & Parray(i)& "<br>"
next
sSelect= sSelect & "</select></p>"
Response.write sSelect
If images<>"" Then
writefeatureimages images
end if

The directory reference to the images are hardcoded though, but hope at least it helps somewhat.
