I have determined that it is theme-related. Changing to the default twenty-eleven theme made it work correctly. So, yes, there’s probably custom javascript within the theme, but I’m not familiar enough with it yet to troubleshoot. I’ve posted something on the theme support forum.
Thanks.
Mike,
I’m having a similar problem, except with the “successfully added to cart” pop-up. The validation clearly determines that the Product Options have not been checked because they do a little dance, but it still creates a pop-up that says the item has been successfully added to the cart.
WordPress 3.3.1
WP e-Commerce 3.8.7.6.2
Does your site prevent that pop-up from appearing?
