All,

This is a bit late and perhaps VERY OBVIOUS, but I'll share it anyway.

Copy the image of whatever button that you want to place into your page (I did this with the Donate button) from Paypal. Then, paste the copied image into your page. Then follow the instructions that Kevin gave above for making the object a link. It works like a champ and the image on the page is the familiar Paypal button.

Dott, or anyone else,
I want to make a small meat business website and have a shopping cart with "buy now" buttons for different meats and packages, along with a checkout. Can I do all this with iWeb Enhancer? Do you use paypals shaopping cart system? And Last can i see a link to you site with your "buy now" buttons.

Thanks A lot! I just really need a website for my business and the shopping cart is the only thing holding me back!

Even after reading through all of the decriptions and info posted I cannot resolve the displacement of the Buy Now button. I put a text box on the page with PayPalHTML in it. Published to a folder. Opened it with Text Editor replaced the above text with the copied HTML from Pay Pale site. Saved. Then I preview it and the button is there but is at the upper left corner. This happens everytime. Can anyone explain the step that I seem to be missing???

http://hexmonkeysoftware.com/ <-- massreplaceit

actually instead of iwebenhancer, i would use massreplaceit. i've tried both products and they do EXACTLY the same thing (and it seems by the same methods too).

the big difference? massreplaceit is free (and more customizable AND can be used on more than just iweb)!!!

use it to add html, paypal buttons, google adds etc. etc. without using another html editor or going into your html files yourself.

i found out about this program through this website:
<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://web.mac.com/will.englefield/iWeb/WillG4PB/Home.html

this website teaches the basics to iweb. honestly IMO if you are going to fiddle with iweb more than what is located in this website than you have pretty much defeated the purpose of iweb-> ease of use.
