I think there has been a misunderstanding. The original module is not supposed to server the purpose it currently serves now. ?( update by shotputty ).

the original module was intended for the following case:
Seller has:
Product A
with option: Colour { Pink, Red or Blue }
and option: Size { Large, Medium, Small }

Customer wants to buy:
2 Pink Large
3 Red Medium
1 Blue Small.

The pull downs help the customer to enter the corresponding quantities.

Updates intended:
1. Quantity box in case ther e is no options.

Note: Choosing on the shopping cart item does not bring in the "default" attribute when coming to the product page.

I will update the module soon.

to shotputty:
Please state the specific case where your update stands good. Also, if it is too different, please post in anew contrib. It really helps :).

Cheers
Hari
