Hello newdeck,

 

Thanks for posting a link, you would be amazed with the number of folks who have an issue but, don't post a link so you can actually see what is going on.

 

I tested all 4 buttons and they all work, no problem there.  Was the issue found by you or a customer?  Suggest deleting your web browser's cookies, temp files and history, close your browser, reopen it and retry.

 

The one thing I noticed was that each time I tested a button, another window would open.  You can control that behaviour by making a small change to your item button code.

 

See the tip below:

 

**  Problem - New Window opens when using shopping cart. 

Change target="paypal" to target="_self".   This will keep the shopping cart page on the same page.   See example below: 

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

The HTML command target="_self" puts the new document in the same window as the current document.   Some web browsers like FireFox, Chrome and older versions of IE will open a new or second window to display a new document.   In order to prevent having multiple windows open while doing a task, it's recommended to use target="_self". 

Also do the same for your View Cart code.
