HTML Element - PayPal Button

Hi all,

I'm a bit stuck with my PayPal buttons set inside the HTML Element

On the product page all the PayPal buttons work for each product
http://www.meevis.com/hair/how-to-make-rings.html

but on all the individual pages the very same button doesn't work for example
http://www.meevis.com/hair/jewelry-less … -ring.html

Instead of being directed to PayPal, I get this url
http://www.meevis.com/hair/jewelry-less … ubmit.y=10

The html code was copied directly from PayPal and looks the same to me. What am I not doing correctly?

This is the zipped file.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers
Anne

Your missing the <form></form> tag.
<form target="_top" method="post" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr">
</form>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hello Eric,

Thank you that worked!

Can I ask, purely for purpose of understanding?
Why do all the PayPal Buttons work on this page
http://www.meevis.com/hair/how-to-make-rings.html
despite not having the <form></form> code?

Kind regards,
Anne

Hi Eric,

I'm still a bit lost. To me, the code after changes look different, if I compare the two.
This is the code I changed --- html-form-added.jpg --- to make it work.

and this code comes from the page that never had an issue
--- html-form-form-none.jpg ------

Regardless, what counts is your suggestion works. Thank for helping out.

Kind regards,
Anne

Now you can remove those <form></form> tags at the front that you added. You must have copied the button code from the working page that already had them.
