Creating paypal buttons in iWeb

i have copy and pasted the html code onto my web page in iWeb but when i publish the page the button is not generated...why? what am i doing wrong? It's the same procedure that I used to create a "visa buy now button" before. Also having the same problem using html from another site that want to generate a cartoon on my site. Wassup!?

If that's the case, then create a simple HTML page with the Paypal code.
Then paste this line in the HTML snippet:
+<object width="75" height="50" data="/dotMacID/paypal.html" type="text/html" standby="Paypal" title="Paypal"></object>+
Instead of object you can also use iframe.
Added:
[Here's my PayPal button|http://web.mac.com/wyodor/paypal.html]. Look at the source to see how it's done.
Save the source and put your own code into it. Otherwise I receive your donations.

Paypal button in iWeb site

any idea how to introduce a PayPal payment button into an iWeb site. Paypal give a section of HTML but i don't know how to apply it to the site i am creating for commercial use.

Here's how I got a paypal button on my site at:
http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/ShopBlog/ShopBlog.html
Go to Paypal and create your button. You'll get to a page with all the HTML needed. Copy this HTML.
Open a text box on your page the size of the button eg, 62 px by 31 px.
Type in the box some recognisable, unique text, eg, PaypalHTML, and change the font size of it so that's it fits in the tiny text box. You can horizontally centre the text or position it left or right, but don't vertically align it otherwise the text box changes into a png. You want it to remain a text box.
Publish.
Open the page in your text/HTML editor.
Find and replace the text 'PaypalHTML' with the actual Paypal HTML.
That's it. That way there's no alignment problems and it goes where you want it to.
You use the same principle with banners served by other parties, scripts etc. See my links page for more examples:

I hope that helps.

PayPal buttons for iWEB 1.1.2

Hi,
I am new to iWEB, and I made this really cute website with some of my art, but I have run into a problem with getting it to show PayPal buttons. I have read posts for other versions, and I cannot find any kind of HTML editor, or HTML Widget to use in this version I have. I have tried just pasting in the code right into the page, but when I publish the site, I see the code, not the PayPal button.
HELP!!!!! I need to get this finished up and please do not tell me that I need to buy another version! This is Apple software we are talking about! Where's the HTML editor??????!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am DESPERATE!!!!! What to do?!
thanks in advance

Setting up paypal buttons in iweb?

This is probably a relatively easy thing to do, but I know very little about this "Internet" thing.
All I'm trying to do is set PayPal up on my little iweb website (www.thegirlandrhino.com).
How do I "paste code into my website's HTML code?"
If it helps, here's the url to the part of PayPal's demo that I'm stuck on:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/dmo/demosc6-outside
Bewildered,
Thanks!

Here are some basic instructions for making html changes after publishing in iWeb:
1. Type a placeholder in place of where you want the item to go. i.e. PAYPALGOESHERE or something like that. Publish your site via iWeb
2. Find your html files.
Go to iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Sitename/Pagename.html
(If you publish to a folder, look in the folder you selected or try looking in your Sites folder of your home folder. )
There are two ways to handle accessing your iDisk.
Method 1:
Turn on local copy of your iDisk in System Prefs, with or without automatic syncing.
If you publish your site via iWeb, now the updated pages exist online but the old pages are on your local iDisk. You need to sync (automatically or manually) to get the new pages on your local iDisk (on your computer).
Then you can open the updated files, make your html changes in Text Edit or whatever program, and SYNC AGAIN (automatically or manually) to update the online version of the site to match what you have just changed on your local iDisk
Method 2:
Mount the iDisk when needed via the "Go" menu in Finder. This is the ONLINE VERSION of your iDisk, not a local copy. When you publish your site via iWeb, the changes INSTANTLY appear on the iDisk on your desktop. If you make html edits or other changes, they appear INSTANTLY online.
I recommend Method 2 - much easier!!!
3. Make the html changes.
You can open the html files generated by iWeb in any text or html editor. In TextEdit, to view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the .html file (as described in step 2) and click Open.
Make your changes and don't forget to save your changes (not Save As, just Save)!!!
4. Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes again! Set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt and you can do this very quickly. You can save your queries so you can make all of your changes with one click the next time you save.

IWeb not publishing PayPal button widget

As per Burns Media (see below). I have taken the proper steps to insert a PayPal button. However the button does not show up on the published site. I've done this in the past and it did work but not now. I have the latest update to iWeb and running OSX 6.4.2 Is there a problem with these updates or am I just missing something?
Thanks for your help!
Jerry
Burns Media Posted this: You can certainly use PayPal on your iWeb site, and it's fairly easy. You would indeed use the HTML Widget - first, log in to your PayPal account (or create one if you don't have one) and follow the steps to create a new button (Buy Now, Pay Now, Gift Certificate, etc.) When you've finished making the button, the last step gives you some HTML code to copy and paste into the HTML Widget. Copy the code from the PayPal site, in iWeb drag the HTML Snippet to your page and in the box that pops up paste the code. Hit Apply and you're done! When you publish the site, visitors can click your "Buy Now" box and be taken to PayPal to buy.

I think this is very similar to the instructions you posted, but here is a visual demonstration showing how to add PayPal to an iWeb site

Short of switching to something useful and much better for web development: [Coda|http://www.panic.com/coda> for instance, here is a tutorial for doing exactly what you need to do:

PayPal Button missing after upload on iWeb 8

I've created a page on iWeb with a PayPal button. I created the button on PayPal and added it to my page using the HTML widget and it shows up fine in iWeb. When I upload it to my server the button and look at the page on the web it shows this message:
When I spoke with my server provider they said they could not see the HTML code. I'm not sure why it's not uploading.
A publishing error message also appears after I upload the page:
Although I got this message all my pages were uploaded on my site and they looked fine except for the area where I placed the PayPal button.
Any ideas how I can get my PayPal button to upload and work?
Thank you

I'm hosting my site through goDaddy. This is the page in question: http://dqtrs.com/DQtrs/Order.html
I uploaded the entire site again and now the PayPal button is showing fine and working but a few of the other jpgs that I use for links are missing. This is how it looks in iWeb:
But this is what is posting now:
At least I know the PayPal button works now. Just need to figure out why the other files aren't loading properly. They were prior when the PayPal button wasn't uploading correctly.
Thanks for you time,
Joseph

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

Using Contribute CS5 to edit site created w/Dreamweaver - PayPal button size issues

I'm using Adobe Contribute CS5 to edit my web site that was built with Dreamweaver on a Mac. I have a PC with Windows XP, 1G of ram, a 40G hard drive (used only for programs and operating system) a 1 terabyte external hard drive for all files, etc. I use MSN Explorer for my browser.
I have done extensive editing and everything works fine except for when I edit or add PayPal buttons. The site was built using "tables" for most everything as well as all of my price lists. When I add a button or edit button properties, that row of cells doubles in height, in the "editing window" they look okay but when I publish the page they take on the doubled height.
I contacted Contribute tech support and they say Contribute is working properly and the problem is with how the button code was written in Dreamweaver. The tech said even though the button looks like it is the proper size, the code tells it to take up more space thus giving me the cell height problem. My standard price lists do not have any lines defining rows and columns but on one page I have been experimenting with I have given the table a line value of 1 to enable me to see what is going on, you can view this page at; http://www.hopscrimshaw.com/birds/owls1.htm
My Webmaster and I parted ways a few years ago so seeking help there is not an option, she won't return phone calls, reply to e-mails, etc.
Any help solving this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, PapaHop

I am also having this problem and any answer would be greatly appreciated. The code <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p> gets added whenever text edits are made. This seems to create spaces on the page which pushes content out of alignment. The code gets put into the navigation, the text and anything above the text being edited, jpeg sliders, images, etc.

I have the lengthy code for a PayPal button. I tried to past it in an iWeb welcom page and all I get is the code. No button. Can you help me?

HTML Snippet customized paypal buttons not showing correctly when published

Hi, My customized paypal buttons that i but on my iweb site using html snippets are not displaying correctly. They work in Opera but not in firefox or safari. Please take a look and tell me what you think might be wrong. (all the links are working it's just not showing the graphics correctly (apart from in Opera)
http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTableLamps.html
Also I've just noticed that when i return to my iweb application (after closing in down) the Html snippets aren't there anymore just an outline, just like they appear in safari?
Many thanks,
Ali
P.S

Bonjour
You inserted an image inside the ShopTable_Lampsfiles folder but it's is deleted every time you publish your page
1) Create an new folder named Paypal in your root folder:
FTP: With a FTP software (like Cyberduck) create a new folder in your server root folder
MobileMe: just make an new folder inside the Folder Sites (iDisk > Web > Sites)
Name this Folder "paypal"
2) insert your image "addtocartbutton.png" inside this paypal folder
Get the new URL of your image , something like
http://www.alisonbrent.com/paypal/addtocartbutton.png
3) Paste this URL in your codes, replace
src="http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTable_Lampsfiles/addtocartbutton.png"
by
src="http://the/new/URL/of/addtocartbutton.png"

PayPal buttons appearing on detail page

I've added Paypal links using the HTML widget to a photo page in iWeb. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, all the Paypal buttons (from the other photos) show up on the enlarged image. Is there a way to avoid this or set up another kind of page so that just the image selected shows up? Thanks.

You will need some additional javascript code in an HTML snippet to get what you want. Cyclosaurus has posted a solution to that.
Here are some topics covering the problem:
Re: Paypal Buttons on Photo page
Re: Inserting a PayPal button onto Photos page
Re: Inserting a PayPal button onto Photos page
Re: Create own link in photoalbum?
Re: iWeb 09 Setting up Pay Pal to sell photography
You'll need to study Cyclosaurus's posts and his sample pages to get the widget code to use.

PAYPAL BUTTONS DISAPPEARED!

I published a modified webpage that contains PAYPAL Drop Down Boxes and Buttons to a local folder and then uploaded them to my site using cyberduck.
If I look at the page in the local folder is displays correctly, but on the website all the paypal info an buttons are missing. I republished several times but it still does not work.
The site was originally created in the older version of iWeb and I recently upgraded.
Anyone help???

Well DUH, @ graffiti....Don't ask why I put Reunion (another of my programs) I have no clue and obviously did not catch my error...I'm managing my web site
with Contribute. When the web site was new, I put the PayPal buttons on, using Contribute but now the PayPal buttons do not work. Errased them, closed
Contribute, then tried to reinstall....no luck, they are there, they just don't work. Any help out there?

How do I add a PayPal button to a page in my site?

My client has a PayPal account and they would like me to add a button that enables visitors to click the button and submit donations.
Is this something that is supported by Muse?

Yes - you can add a PayPal button using arbitrary HTML.
Create the donation page in Muse. If desired, you can also create a second confirmation page, that thanks the visitor for their donation after it is submitted.
Publish both pages.
Log into your PayPal account on their website. Use their system to generate the donation payment button.
Copy the source code for the button.
Return to Muse and go to Object > Insert HTML..., paste the code in the HTML Code area and Click OK.
Position the HTML block where you want the button to appear on the page.
Publish the page again and click the button to test that the button works as expected. It should jump from the Muse donation page to the PayPal page where the visitor can enter their donation into your client's account.
You can style the PayPal page to look more like your site's design, which creates a more seamless appearance. If desired, you can also configure the PayPal payment page to redirect to the confirmation/thank you page you created in step 1 after processing the transaction.
