hi there i was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on how to achieve the following.

i would like to create a seperate page for my various products showing colour , styles etc. and ideally i'd like a client to click on the style they like and to be taken to a page with choices of colour and sizes and read all the description of the product , and to be able to add it to their shopping cart ..any suggestions?

Look at the Tutorials->Using Forms->Menus. You should be able to adapt the method of using a form select list to suit your needs.
