Pay pal button dosen't work in Internet Explorer

[Fronk]

Pay pal button doesn't work in Internet Explorer (gets error message) but does work in Firefox or Google Chrome

Then only use the browsers it works in.

Sorry this is not practical advice, as I'm trying to sell and most people use IE. There must be a fault with the pay pal system and I'm looking for practical solutions to help

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">

Hello,

I'm also having this problem. I've checked the code for the frame issue and my code reads exactly as it should. When you click on the "Add to Cart" button in Internet Explorer nothing happens - no error code - nothing. The "View Cart" button works.

Firefox works as it should.

My site is www.talesendtackle.com. Mouse over the lures button and click on a specific lure to try it out.

I'm really baffled by this one and would appreciate the help!

I'm having trouble with paypal button and IE. I have three paypal buttons two of them are displayed OK the third one doesn’t get displayed. I search the forum and tried the suggested solutions, still not working.

I had the form inside php code using echo .....

}else{

echo '<strong> You are a member of XXX. Please procede with your payment to renew your membership';

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

echo '<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">';

echo '<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="4DVTKZX8M67TC">';

echo '<P><input type="image" src="https:www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynow_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPay-The safer, easier way to pay online!"></P>';

echo '<img alt="" border="0" src="https:www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">';

echo '</form>';

}

When it didn't work I changed it by closing the php tag and tried to display it with html tags only, still no success.

?>

<strong> <font color="red" size=3>You are a member of XXX. Please procede with your payment to renew your membership</font>

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

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">

<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="4DVTKZX8M67TC">

<input type="image" src="https:www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynow_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPay-The safer, easier way to pay online!">

<img alt="" border="0" src="https:www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">

</form>

<?php

}

Any suggestion please.

Thank you
