Added a "Donate Button" to my web -- code below provided thru PayPal:

 

<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="10887612">
&nbsp;<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">

</form>

 

THE Donate Button shows up on my Web Page - http://www.n0tg.com/feedback.htm   BUT when you CLICK on it, Nothing Happens.   Suggestions for what to look for/fix will be great appreciated.  Thank you

Thank you Skier for your previous reply and code.  It works and I really appreciate it.

 

NOW, one more question.  Can the CODE be enhanced to include a currency Option for Donations?  Specifically, U.S.D. or EU ?

 

If so, what would the code look like.  Thanks again

Yes, however, this cannot be done using the online button creator as it has it's limitations.   You would have manually code your item and include some additional lines of code.   You can find Currency/Country Code Examples and tips here.

I just added a "Donate" button to my page but it won't work. When someone clicks on it they get a "fatal failure" message.

The button code is:

<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="LW7PA7YZNDESC">
<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>

 

Website is www.artscholarship,org.

Help, anyone?

 

Thanks.

Hi again-

I added a" target=_blank" so that the button would open in a new window, and that works for now, but I'd appreciate knowing how to get it to work within the original window.

 

Thanks!

Where did you add the "target_blank" at in your code to get it to work -

I still can not get the donate button to work

At the button creation page (Donation), I requested that the account refer to our hidden ID, not to email.

 

The button posted successfully at http://www.UnityCenterOfLight.org

 

....but when the link goes to PayPal, our email address is showing. We feel that this would confuse potential donors. As I understand it, that box is where they enter their own PayPal login.

 

The html that PayPal generated:

 

<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="XQN62GSZ85RUE">
<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>

Clarification?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Having same issue, I think!  The button is pretty on my fundraiser site, but links back to our log-in/email here at Paypal. Now I KNOW the buttons work, as I've donated.....and if I hadn't just drowned my phone, I'd call.  It would be nice if Paypal had one live online person for part of the time....or did I mess that HTML code up too?!  SO?
