I am setting up a simple website and have been trying to put shopping cart buttons on my site by copying/pasting from the button factory at paypal. It works great for the first button, but when i add other buttons for different items, the previous button then goes straight to the paypal home page instead of shopping cart. Help!

You probably have an HTML error (failing to end a FORM) If you can't find it, then post your test URL we we can look at it. The reason it is going to the home page is because PayPal cannot figure out what you are trying to do - what you are sending is not what PayPal is expecting.

Here is the script that i have pasted and what it changes to when i add another button.
Pasted:
<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but22.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="arrangingcreations@cox.net">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Multi Purse ">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="KMC12">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="12.50">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
</form>
Changes to:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="paypal"><input type="image" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but22.gif" border="0" name="submit" /> <input type="hidden" name="add" /> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" /> <input type="hidden" name="business" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" /> <input type="hidden" name="amount" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" /> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" /> <input type="hidden" name="lc" /> </form>
Thank you for the help.

What it changes to is not correct - that is why PaPal is taking you to their home page. It seems you have lost all your value attributes... What is "changing" it? Your HTML editor?
Do you se why your 2nd example is in error?

Yes, i see what is changing. I dont, although, know why it is changing. I am not that familiar with html, and am using a package website builder that came with my website. Should i contact them about the problem?

I think so. You are using something (even if it is FTP) and the ISP (or the package you are using) is perverting the contents. They probably can give you some insight...

I contacted my isp and they said:
Reply:
You set paypal button code, but it is HTML code not visual editing. You need
to know html to make code with our Wizard. Our wizard is working fine unledd
you put your code (not generated by Wizzard), so it is your own risk.
--
so- any suggestions?

Not sure what that reply means. Are they saying that you can generate button if done with their wizard? If so, then how do you paste code into it?
The use of any wizard, ot HTML editor, really requires that you know HTML. If what you are using doesxn't work, then use something else (Frontpage is free on Windows machines).
I would bet you that your wizard can do it if you could just figure out how. There must be some way to bring in "foreign" HTML thru the wizard.

Is there any way in your editor to view and edit the HTML code directly, without going through a wizard? (Is there any way to get to a screen where all you see is the HTML for the page?) If so, try adding the code only in that screen, so that it doesn't get changed in the process.
Do you mind sharing with us the name of the ISP or HTML editor you are using? That might help us point you in the right direction.
