Paypal code not working in iWeb?

I designed a website in Dreamweaver on my Windows PC. On it I was selling a book and payment could be made using Paypal so I got the code from the Paypal website, inserted into the DW website and it has been working great for years now.

I have today, redesigned the website using iWeb 09 [since I now have a Mac] and I used the same code as before but when I click the Paypal button it gives this error message "paypal cannot process this transaction as there is a problem with the sellers website...." yet it still works if I click the DW designed site.

Is there any reason why the code wouldn't work the same in iWeb? I used the HTML snippet too

Thank you for any help or suggestions you may have :-)

You would have to either post the code you are using or the URL to the published page to get help with this.

This is the code that I used in DW and is working in that site

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

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">

<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="D287JPC6XQBBQ">

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/GB/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.">

<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">

</form>

This is the page that the code should take me to but doesn't in iWeb

The problem doesn't appear to be related to iWeb.

I tried your code outside of iWeb and I get the same failure message.

I think you're going to haveto take this up with PayPal support.
