asp pages and paypal button

I have an asp.net page in 3.5 that I have a pay pal button on but when I click on the button it just refreshes the page. I think I need to encapsulate the paypal button in something so it is not trigging the refresh but goes to pay pal.

Anyone know a solution? Can I use an updatePanel or iframe?

I would recommend you to use the PayPal Developer Toolkit for this. They're having a lot of good code samples and how to implement PayPal the best in your ASP.NET page.

I had this same issue once, I just used the following code for my button:

<asp:ImageButton ID="btnPayNow" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/Purchase/payNowButton.jpg" PostBackUrl="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"/>

Hope that helps!

Paypal pay now buttons as generated by paypal site have their own form tags in. ASP.Net pages are generated with the whole page within a form, so you now have a form within a form which wont work. If you opt for a paypal hosted button you can have code like this within the asp.net page which will work:-

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"/> To order the item name for £99 <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="note to programmer-this value is generated by paypal"/> <asp:ImageButton ID="Button2" runat="server" PostBackUrl="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" ImageUrl="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif" ImageAlign="AbsBottom" />

I know this is an old question, but I hope this helps someone else.
