Hi all, hope someone can shed a little light on this one for me please! I have an asp page created in DW using VBScript. I have on it displayed on a table a recordset, showing one record at a time. i would like to have a PayPal button on the page that when pressed picks up the description and price in that record of the recordset. I already have the recordset (needs new fields adding if this whole thing is possible) thus:

<tr align="center" valign="middle">
    <td height="30"><span class="style2"><%=(rsSignage.Fields.Item("Caption").Value)%></span></td>
    <td height="30"><span class="style1"></span></td>
    <td height="30"><div align="left"><span class="style2">Picture Ref: <%=(rsSignage.Fields.Item("Image_ref").Value)%></span></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="400" height="400" align="center" valign="top"><div align="center">
      <p><img src="<%=(rsSignage.Fields.Item("Image").Value)%>"></p>
      <p><%=(rsSignage.Fields.Item("Large_Image").Value)%></p>

The FORM for the PayPal button is thus:

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

  <div align="center">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="webassist.dreamweaver.4_0_3">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="sales@17minutes.co.uk">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Alan 10x8 inch glossy">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="Alan1">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="20">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="sales@17minutes.co.uk">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="mrb" value="R-3WH47588B4505740X">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="pal" value="ANNSXSLJLYR2A">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
  
    <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
  
    <input type="image" name="submit" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but22.gif" border="0" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
  
</div>
</form>

It would be great to add fields to the database conatining data that I can pass to the "item_name" and "ammount" parameters of the paypal form. Any idea how this can be done please? i'm sure it's simple but I haven't a clue how to do it!

Thanks, Lol

RESOLVED

This is the subroutine I use for generating the PayPal form on my catalogue/cart code

sub PayPal()
' paypal form code
with response
.write "<form action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' method='post'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='hidden' name='return' value='http://www.domain.com/thanks.asp'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='hidden' name='cancel_return' value='http://www.domain.com/cancel.asp'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='hidden' name='cmd' value='_xclick'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='hidden' name='business' value='sales@domain.com'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='hidden' name='item_name' value='"
.write scItemCode
.write " "
.write scProdInfo
.write "'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='hidden' name='amount' value='"
.write FormatNumber(scItemprice * scItemQty,2)
.write "'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='hidden' name='no_note' value='1'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='GBP'>" & vbCrLf
.write "<input type='image' src='/images/payment/x-click-but01.gif' border='0' name='submit'"
.write " alt='Make payments with PayPal - fast, free and secure!'"
.write " title='Make payments with PayPal - fast, free and secure!'>" & vbCrLf
.write "</form>" & vbCrLf
end with
end sub

scItemCode is from the recordset carrying the stock ref number
scProdInfo is the Item description (plus size, colour, etc)

scItemPrice & scItemQty are fairly self explanatory

Hi Chris, thanks for the code will examine it further! I actually found a way to do it in DW by binding recordset fields to the PayPal form. I know a lot of folks sneer at DW but it's great for us beginners .

Cheers, Lol
