Donate button not working in Internet Explorer

[Smith2010]

Greetings, I'd like to add a donate button to my html page but the script will not work in IE. It works fine in Firefox but for some reason IE can't handle it. Here is the url http://aleader4life.com/support2.html . I appreciate any help you can give me with this. Thanks.

You're using Frames in your web site design. For security reasons, PayPal does not allow the use of their payment pages to be displayed inside of a Frame. When a PayPal page is displayed in a Frame, it is unsecure causing it to time out and/or be blocked.

You can fix this by simply adding target="paypal" in the <form action> tag of the HTML code. This will prevent the PayPal payment page from being displayed in a Frame.

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

Skier,

You rock. Thanks for helping others. Can you please helpme with my similar problem?

My "buy it now" buttons (in Spanish) are working on every major browser except IE8. I do not have frames. But I do have a forwarded (and masked URL) site. In other words the site my customer type in is

www.flordelicia.com

But as you can see that redirects to

d1111823.domain.com/Compra2.html

The name "flordelicia.com" remains in the address bar but the customer is actually on the hosted page. The first page, flordelicia, does have frames but there is no code for anything paypal related.

Any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your issue is NOT a PayPal Problem but, the design of your web site.
