Need donation button to open a new page (window)

[md108091]

Does anyone know the code i can use to allow the PayPal button to open a new web browser web page? Right now it just goes forward. I don't want it to leave the page the person is on but open a new one to complete the transaction.  target="_blank" does not seem to work unless I am putting it in the wrong place.

Thanks for any help.

This has always worked for us:

Change target="paypal" to target="_blank".

This will open a new browser window or tab for the shopping cart page.

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

The HTML command target="_blank" causes the link to open in a totally new browser window, leaving the page with the refering link still open behind it.  Unlike Javascript pop ups, however, the developer has no control over the size of the resulting window - it just depends what the browser happened to do the last time they shut their browser down.

After you make the change to your item button code, delete your web browser's cookies, cache, temp files, etc., then close the web browser, reopen it and retry your item button code.

Either I'm looking in the wrong place or something is missing....I have no "target=" parameter in the code for my donate button:

   <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
      <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
      <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="10085570">
      <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
      <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
   </form>

So, were is the code supposed to go that will make clicking on this button open in a new window?

Add it:                target="_blank"
