I've added the PayPal code to the site I'm working on but when I click on the Buy Now or Donate button it doesn't go anywhere.

I have not done this in ages, but if I remember correctly it is because paypal code does not use javascript to handle the button click. And Since the whole Dnn website is a form, then pressing that button posts back to your site instead of to paypal.

Workaround:
As we cannot nest forms, in your paypal code, you need to remove the opening and closing form tags.
Then change the button so that it modifies the form post url and then submits the form instead of just submitting normally. In your button, create an onClick property like this

onClick="this.form.action='https//www.paypal.com/.......';this.form.submit();"

replace ...... by whatever was in the original form tag for the url (I do not rememeber the specifics.


Note: This is what I remember from many years ago, not sure if paypal forms are still like that, if not, give us a code sample please.

Thanks for your help.  Here is the code for one of the buttons:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top"><input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" /> <input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="HGMP67LJD8GNY" /> <input alt="Donate with PayPal button" border="0" name="submit" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" type="image" /> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_CA/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /></form>

Awesome, thanks for the code sample, so that would need to become:

<input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" />
<input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="HGMP67LJD8GNY" />
<input alt="Donate with PayPal button" border="0"
name="submit" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif"
title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"
type="image"
onclick="this.form.action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';this.form.submit();"
/>
<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_CA/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" />

Thank you .  That worked.  I have another code too.  How do I change this one:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top"><input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" /> <input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="G8LXNQ37DHM2W" />
<table>
 <tbody>
  <tr>
   <td><input name="on0" type="hidden" value="Option" />Option</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><select name="os0"><option value="180 Club">180 Club $180.00 CAD</option><option value="Diamond Jubilee Supporter">Diamond Jubilee Supporter $75.00 CAD</option> </select></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><input name="on1" type="hidden" value="Member's Full Name" />Member&#39;s Full Name</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><input maxlength="200" name="os1" type="text" /></td>
  </tr>
 </tbody>
</table>
<input name="currency_code" type="hidden" value="CAD" /> <input alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" border="0" name="submit" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynow_LG.gif" type="image" /> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /></form>
