Help Me Get Help

I've been trying to get help with a PayPal button on a few different coding message boards and the only responses I get are regarding format and violating unwritten rules (apparently offering $20 thank-yous for solving my problem is a no-no....though I think if you get to put 6 gallons of gas in your tank and I get to finally have a working registration payment system we all win, but I digress).   My coding skills (as I learned) are mostly limited to HTML formatting so this is beyond my skill set. So rather than asking for coding help, is there a resource you all use to solve specialized coding problems like this one that would probably be very amateur for someone proficient in the area?   Any help is appreciated. For context, my other post is linked below.     https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Payments/Registration-Form-with-a-Button-Am-I-Doing-It-Right/m-p/747251#M16601 ... View more

OK I re-wrote much of it after looking at that website (specifically http://ccaples.com/index.php/basic-scripts/examples-ii/membership).   Now I get a different error when clicking Pay Now.   http://www.lifeatpathway.com/what-s-happening/mukti-5k-registration     I think the form part is clean now, but the button script (lines 628 and 714-15) can't be right. ...

OK I updated the text boxes to objects, but I'm not sure how to do the drop-downs.   Also, I think I made the Add to Cart button worse somehow as it just goes to a blank page.   Here is my code.  **bleep** is in a few non-essential spots and I swapped my actual email for "myemailwashere" in the spots I had it.   <**bleep**">https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" /> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="myemailaddresswashere" value="myemailaddresswashere" /> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>First name:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="First Name" /> <input type="text" name="os0" size="30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Last name:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Last Name" /> <input type="text" name="os1" size="30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Address:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on2" value="Address" /> <input type="text" name="os2" size="30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>City:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on3" value="City" /> <input type="text" name="os3" size="20" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>State:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on3" value="State" /> <input type="text" name="os3" size="2" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Zip:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on3" value="Zip" /> <input type="text" name="os3" size="10" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Phone:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on3" value="Phone" /> <input type="text" name="os3" size="14" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on3" value="Email" /> <input type="text" name="os3" size="30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Age:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on3" value="Age" /> <input type="text" name="os3" size="2" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Gender:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="gender"><option value="">- please select -</option><option value="male">Male</option><option value="female">Female</option></select></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Race</td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="race"><option value="">- please select -</option><option value="5k">Mukti 5K Race $15.00 USD</option><option value="1m">Mukti 1 Mile **bleep** $15.00 USD</option></select></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Shirt Size" />Shirt Size</td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name="shirt"><option value="">- please select -</option><option value="Youth Small">Youth Small</option><option value="Youth Medium">Youth Medium</option><option value="Youth Large">Youth Large</option><option value="Adult Small">Adult Small</option><option value="Adult Medium">Adult Medium</option><option value="Adult Large">Adult Large</option><option value="Adult XL">Adult XL</option><option value="Adult XXL">Adult XXL</option></select></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <div> </div> <div><input type="checkbox" name="agree" value="agree_terms" /> By checking this box, I, intending to be legally bound **bleep** on Saturday, May 10, 2014.

Now it looks like I'm getting an error message when I click the button.  The error is, "PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem."     And I can't post my html here (as text, code, or word) because it says it's invalid.  Argh! ... View more

I am trying to use a button on a 5K registration form that sends me the registration information as well as pays for the race registration.   I coded it mostly myself using dusted off HTML knowledge from the late 90's as well as some google searches.   It looks good (to me at least) but I'm not sure if if will get all of the registration form info once a payment is received.   Can you tell from my code?   http://www.lifeatpathway.com/what-s-happening/mukti-5k-registration   Thanks! ...
