    I don't think you can parse the HTML into a forum.
    Just link to a website on which you have the paypal button :)

    That was only a sample!

    he should replace link with real link

    like in this example

    https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...ode=USD&lc=US&bn=PP-DonationsBF&charset=UTF-8

    if you personalize this link, you can get something like this:

    https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...ode=EUR&lc=PT&bn=PP-DonationsBF&charset=UTF-8

    As you see, better think and read before post ;)

    Best regards


    EDIT: Similar to what ansi told, but this link has more options. :D
    Also, you could use this alternate method:
    https://www.paypal.com/xclick/busin...digitalpoint.com/cancel.htm&currency_code=EUR

    Click both to check the differences.

    for more samples, please read this PDF

    I guess "trouble" was too harsh a word but if you don't get clearance from mod you could get a "banned" tag depending on who mod is on duty here on DP.
