Recently I opened a paypal account in order for my company to recieve electronic payments. I attempted to add a "Pay Now" button following CoffeeCup's instructions (http://www.coffeecup.com/designer/help/ … e.693.html). After uploading, I tried to use the button, but it would not let me click it. The PayPal image is visible, but there is no working link. See here: http://www.employeecentric.com/Upcoming%20Events.html

I have the newest version of VSD and my paypal is verified-any idea what could be wrong?

Hello,

It appears that you have a text box overlapping the paypal button, you will either need to change the dimensions of the text box, or layer the paypal button over the text box by right clicking on it, then select arrange, and Bring to Front.

If there is anything else that we can help you with please let us know.

Thank you,

Thank you so much for your help! Who woulda thought such a minor detail could cause that? VSD can be so picky sometimes ;)

Hiya Daniel,

I see the paypal button for Donating just fine. I'm on FF 3.5.5 if that tells you anything. But I must say there is a problem with the button as this message is what I get when I try it:

Sorry — your last action could not be completed

If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check both your PayPal account and your email for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes.
