Paypal - my "buy now" button does not work!

Hi guys

Wondering if someone could help me - I have recently created a "buy now" button to put on my website. I choose to use their website payment system.

I copied and pasted the code exactly onto where I want it on my website, but when I test the button by clicking on it, the button redirects the browser back to my page.

Is there some steps that I am missing?

    Um... I think you are not
    giving enough info...

    Maybe post the code here, and
    we can see if anything's wrong?

    Makes no sense!

      Hi Jamie

      The code is

      <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><br /><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"><br /><input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="3410409"><br /><input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_AU/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online."><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_AU/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"><br /></form><br /><br />

        OK... the code looks right...

        How about the URL?

        I've never heard of this happening.

          Maybe because I am not the best when it comes to computers and stuff!

          the website is thewilllawyers dot com dot au The button is located at the end of the "Additional Resources" page

          Thanks for your help!

            First of all, don't think you're at fault or "not the best"
            because these odd things do happen...

            I just never heard it yet, but now I see!

            Like has been said... I believe there is a code at the top
            of your site causing this:

            <form name="Form" method="post" action="/AdditionalResources/tabid/60/Default.aspx"
            id="Form" enctype="multipart/form-data" style="height: 100%;" autocomplete="off">

            Looks like it could very much be the culprit...

            Trying taking it out and trying it, and hit me back!

            Jamie

            [EDIT]

            Center the button too, it will look better...

            <center> FORM </center>

            [END EDIT]

    I just checked your button and it works.

    Maybe it has something to do with other code you have on that page.
