# My product page drop downs are flashing when the page loads

Here is how to fix it

If your product doesn’t have any variants (or has less than 3 option sets), then CartGenie will automatically hide the option drop downs when someone visits that product page.

However, sometimes this results in a “flash” as the drop downs are visible for a half second before being hidden by the script.

## How to fix it

To prevent the option drop downs from displaying on products that don’t have any variants, we need to set up a conditional visibility attribute for these blocks.

Go to the first drop down and select its parent div “**cg-option-wrapper**”**.**

_(You can select this easily using the layers panel or by right-clicking and going to the “select parent element” selector)_

Then, go to the block settings panel in the right hand sidebar.

Scroll down to the section called “Conditional Visibility” and click the + icon.

Set the field to only be visible when “Option Name 1” is set.

**Next, do these same steps with the other two drop downs** (be sure you are selecting the “**cg-option-wrapper”** for each so that you will be hiding both the label and the drop down:

-   **2nd Label & Dropdown**: set visibility condition to **Option Name 2**
    
-   **3rd Label & Dropdown**: set visibility condition to **Option Name 3**
