I am trying to do a test in PayPal developer sandbox.

When I use the following code it brings me to the correct page.

    <!-- SPECIFY the type of button - THIS CODE WORKS  -->
    <input type="hidden" NAME="cmd" value="_donations">
    <input type="hidden" NAME="hosted_button_id" value="QNTJ7MSKQXP58">
    <input type="hidden" NAME="no_shipping" value="1">

When I try the following code it brings me to the PayPal Log-in page.

<!-- SPECIFY the type of button - THIS CODE DOES NOT WORK -->
    IT BRINGS ME TO PAYPAL LOG-IN PAGE
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
    <input type="hidden" NAME="no_shipping" value="1">

When I try the Buy Now button code it does not work. It brings me to an error page.

Error Detected Error Message PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem.

<!-- SPECIFY the type of button - THIS CODE DOES NOT WORK -->
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
    <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="ZZE242VSVCF8S">
    <input type="hidden" NAME="no_shipping" value="1">

Here is the entire code for review. It's got to be something simple I'm overlooking. Any help would be appreciated.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Test-PayPal</title>

    <script>    
        function init(){            
            document.forms['book_order'].submit();
        }       
        window.onload = init;
    </script>

</head>

<body>
