Thanks for removing the code. (duh) Do you want the code for the whole page? I feel like I should start the whole page over again so I don't mess it up because I have switched back and forth some. Would you advise that? It wouldn't take that long.

Yes... I was after the whole page of code. If you say it is simple to begin over, why not just make a very simple page with just one item for sale so that we can show you where to slip in that button snippet.
You needn't dump what you have already done, but just save the trial page with a new name for now.

Okay, here's a trial page (good idea!)

Charlotte. Give me a few minutes to try this out in my editor and I will get back.

Ok... here goes
So you should recognize your original bit of code. I have added a new block which will be similar to your own button snippet, though here I have added a fictitious customer id by way of example. Try just copying and pasting the code into a new html EMPTY page and then take a look in the preview. I cannot say how this will behave if you then start using the visual editor I'm afraid.

Okay, I tried that and it worked so I will play with it more. At least I have a place to start and I thank you.
What is the recommendation for a newbie to HTML in using this program? I will certainly be designing pages in the visual editor because that's why I bought it, but sometimes I'll have to add code manually like this. Just avoid doing it too often, lol? Do a save, then copy/paste into a new document to try out the code in another new page?

Glad it worked ok. Certainly until you manage to get your head around a bit more html I suggest that you always experiment in a blank page and save it perhaps as a resource page with a meaningful name so that you can pick it up again if you need it. I actually keep a folder just full of resources like that where my trials for javascript, html etc. get tucked away for when I need them.
Just always bear in mind that the code editor and visual editor do not allow you to switch between without a few changes taking place that you might find difficult to rectify. As soon as you can, try to use the html and then the preview tab which changes nothing.

Hey Charlotte,
HTML is not difficult, but it takes some good serious rainy days to get your head around it :-)
Like you I'm a newbie .. still .. just letting you know that it will come to you. The nice thing about CC is that these guys think like newbies :-)
Good luck with it
