i need to set up a page that customers are redirected to if there is an error in one of the fields they filled out. for example, in the amount field, if they entered $12j.00 - instead of directing them to the paypayl error detected page, they will go back to the original website OR if they click the continue button on the paypal error detected page, they go back to the donate page. can this be done?

You would need to validate the form before posting it.

example
function Validator(theForm)
{

if (theForm.amount.value == "")
{
alert("Please enter a value for the \"Amount\" field.");
theForm.amount.focus();
return (false);
}

return (true);
}
//--></script>

<form action="post to script" method="post" onsubmit ="return Validator(this)">

<input size="4" name="amount">
<input type="submit" value="Go to check out">
</form>

the only issue with using the validator is that there are two radio buttons to choose from for an amount, so i can't make both of them required values. is there a way to make the continue link on the paypal error page point back to the donate page?

You are 100% correct in your case you would have to validate texta only if amount=texta

It will require some extra coding to do this. What I gave you was a basic example not ment for use with your code.

You may not have uploaded the change because it is not there

you have to add that bit in the URL in the script.
