pasting in paypal code

We just set up with Pay Pal to accept credit cards through our website. They helped us generate a "Buy Now" and they said just paste this code into your website.

Well it hasn't been all that easy. I contact them again and all they told me was it was html code and had to go into a html area. It couldn't go into a text box area. They wouldn't help me any further.

I'm new at this part of code.

You'll see my page here:

The button is here but doesn't work. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 and the way I got here is:
Insert tag/Tag Chooser/Markup language Tags/htmltags/forms/button....and then pasted the text.

The code starts off by:

I'm Obviously doing something wrong. Can someone please look at my source code and tell me exactly where to put this or how to "Insert" the correct procedure in CS3 to make this work? I also have CS5 if that helps.

A Paypal button is a form that sends the buying information to your Paypal account, so it can be processed.

To insert the HTML code (the form) in your page you need to be in code view. Design view will help you just to find the right spot to pase your code. Let me explain:

In design view, place the cursor where you want your button to be. It can be inside a DIV, a Table or any other container.

Switch to code view and the cursor should be positioned in the exact sopt your code needs to be. Paste it and then change again to design view.

If your button takes the Paypal image from the internet (not locally) you may need to activate Live View or preview your page in a browser in order to see it and test it.

PS. To paste code in the forum you need to paste it, highligth it and then press the CODE button in the upper part of the post window.
