If Receiving Error Message/Page with PayPal Button

Many of us insert PayPal buttons into our posts and pages (see this tutorial for those instructions: http://www.blogsbyheather.com/2009/01/adding-a-paypal-button-to-a-post.html ).  However, sometimes visitors who click those buttons "may" receive an error page.  Therefore, add this piece of code to the first line of HTML code used to insert the PayPal button.

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

This then forces the PayPal item for sale to be opened in a new internet/browser window and eliminates the possible error visitors may receive.

Happy blogging!

The questions that many people make are usually incomprehensible, this is often a problem for some writers who have no idea of the most appropriate to speak on their blogs. I think this topic is very appropriate, is simple but very effective, I congratulate the idea so brilliant that they had to create this article. thank you very much for sharing the information.

[paypal error 10812]

I know this is half a year late to answer the question above but to all who might also get the same error:
Look at your code if there is a closing tag for form tag. The closing tag has / before the word form. Hope that helps!
