I need to unselect the "Artwork" selection every time the "Color" Characteristic is modified. I have examined HikaShop's editable Views and have not found a way to add an "onChange" attribute to the Characteristic drop-down input item, or to the "Add To Cart" button.

Do you have any suggestions?")* Hi, You should be able to easily add an onchange to a characteristic or a onclick on the add to cart button. For the characteristic dropdown, edit the file "show_block_characteristic" via the menu Display>Views and change the line: Code: echo $this->characteristic->displayFE($this->element, $this->params) . '</div>'; to: Code: echo str_replace('onchange="','onchange="callToMyCustomJavascriptFunction();',$this->characteristic->displayFE($this->element, $this->params)) . '</div>'; For the add to cart, you can edit the file "quantity" of the view "product" and change the line: Code: $this->ajax = 'return hikashopModifyQuantity(\''.$this->row->product_id.'\',field,1,0,\'cart\','.$module_id.')'; to: Code: $this->ajax = 'callToMySecondCustomJavascriptFunction();return hikashopModifyQuantity(\''.$this->row->product_id.'\',field,1,0,\'cart\','.$module_id.')'; The following user(s) said Thank You: [icomex](/forum/user/4967-icomex "View icomex's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMxLWRldmVsb3BtZW50Lzg4NjM3OS1jYW4tY2hhcmFjdGVyaXN0aWMtc2VsZWN0aW9uLXRyaWdnZXItYS1qYXZhc2NyaXB0P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[icomex](/forum/user/4967-icomex "View icomex's Profile")** - [![icomex's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar4967.png)](/forum/user/4967-icomex "View icomex's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/4967-icomex) Less More - Posts: 149 - Thank you received: 6 - - 10 years 2 months ago [\#249735](#249735) by [icomex](/forum/user/4967-icomex "View icomex's Profile") Replied by *[icomex](/forum/user/4967-icomex "View icomex's Profile")* on topic *[Can Characteristic Selection trigger a javascript?](/forum/31-development/886379-can-characteristic-selection-trigger-a-javascript#249735 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.4 -- Joomla version -- : 3.6.2 -- PHP version -- : 5.6.16 I have Product which is made of three selected Option items within a packaging container (a Characteristic item which does not modify the price).
