magento CE 1.9 color swatches

Question

I am using magento C.E. 1.9.1 swatch functionality.

I have enable color and size swatch from backend and I have configure one product.

When I go to detail page its show dropdown option instead of swatches.

can any one help me how to solve this.

Answer 1

the javascript and functionality of the 1.9.1 color swatch features is built into the rwd/default package/theme, and not any other package/theme. Most templates are built on default/default or base/default which do not include that functionality.

otherwise, the detailed how-to is here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/ee1141-ce191-configurable-swatches

Answer 2

A couple of things to look at...
Are you using the rwd theme (or a customized version of it)?
Do you have images on all of your associated products?
