Adding a code to a button

Recommended Posts

I have a code for a PayPal form where users can make a payment. I was told I need to add the code to a button block on Squarespace, but when I do, it shows up looking like this. Originally I was hoping to add it as a link but that does not seem to work.image.thumb.png.d02dba67b713cc2445f3b42d3505bffa.png

How have you added code to a button? Have you tried adding the code to a code block? Can you share the code for testing?

I did try and add the code to a code block, I fixed the “” and now this is the photo that pops up, Here is the code:  <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" /> <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="3JD6XEAAKHYWJ" /> <table> <tr> <td> <input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Note any special instructions:"/> Note any special instructions: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <input type="text" name="os0" maxLength="200" /> </td> </tr> </table> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" /> <input type="image" src="https://cdn.proudground.org/images/site/logo4paypal.png" border="0" name="submit" title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" alt="Buy Now" /> </form>

In the image you show I see smart quotes. HTML does not like smart quotes and they are syntax errors. This usually happens when the code has gone through a word processor.

I suggest using code editor.

The code you pasted into the forum is now smart quote free. The smart quotes have been made dumb. You can copy the code back from here and give it a go. It should look better.
