Hi Mark,

That's not normal Nice PayPal Button behavior. Is it possible for me to take a look at the actual button? It may help me to find some clues as to why this is happening?

I tried with the "pay" button only, it is the same

Thank you for help, Chris

Hi,

I tested both of your tags and they work great on my test site. Plus, I reviewed the code samples that you supplied in detail and the HTML form code looks correct.

The only thing that I noticed is that you are not using a full monetary amount in your pay button.

Example
Use 95.00 instead of 95

However, in my tests the amount syntax did not matter.

Notice that in both HTML forms there is an "action" attribute.

Code: Select all

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

The action attribute tells the browser where to submit the form information.

Code: Select all

action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"

So, in our case the forms are supposed to be submitted to: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

So this issue is a bit puzzling since the correct URL is present as the form action. When the form button is clicked the browser should submit the form information to Paypal.

Perhaps, there is another plugin or extension that is conflicting with the button HTML form code. Have you tried enabling and disabling any of your extensions to see if it makes a difference?

Also, what browser are you using? Do you get the same results when you use a different browser?

I disabled all unnecessary plugins and now it works well.

thank you very much, Chris
