Well I have this code here and I am adding it to my list.phtmlfile to try and get the attribute text for each product to display:

<?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('mileage') ?>

This code works with any attribute that has a Catalog Input Type for Store Owner value of dropdown however it does not display for attributes with the value of Text Field.

Any idea why this might be happening?

I have the setting Used in Product Listing enabled for both attributes.

Thanks

    did you rebuild your indexes after adding your attribute?

    getAttributeText() method is specifically there for dropdown type attributes. If you take a look at the method in Product model, you'll find that the method gets value index from Product data and then, finds the text for that index in respective table.
