    Default PayPal Cart & Custom NOF Buy Buttons w/Actions Integration???

    I've been trying unsuccessfully to integrate PayPal buy buttons into my own
    buttons created using actions for mouse -over effect. The PayPal docs for
    mouse-over buttons is lacking in substance. Has anyone tried doing this yet?
    The PayPal buttons just don't look good on this website! Any suggestions
    would be greatly appreciated---Thanks!

    I created my own buttons and manually pasted the PayPal generated button
    code for each one into the NOF HTML. Is this what you want to do? See:

    Never ever use HTML View to add or edit code. NOF doesn't generate final
    code until you publish site so what you see there isn't the real deal.
    Placing code into your site this way could cause serious harm to your nod
    file. Suggest removing it at once (if you can).

    To insert code the proper way, use the html buttons on the various
    properties boxes or make a text box or table cell and hit Ctrl+T to invoke
    an html insertion box.

    You really need to put the custom banner you are using in PayPal on a secure
    server. The security message will put a lot of people off.

    I've read this string and others in the web-design group but haven't gotten
    what I need.

    I am, for the first time, adding PayPal Buy Now buttons to a site. Creating
    the button on PayPal is easy, Ctrl-T pasting is easy but I cannot get the
    alignment I need with the button. I am using a table where I am adding the
    Buy Now button to the right most cell(s). No matter what I try I cannot seem
    to do anything but to have the button end up aligned to the top of the cell
    with a large margin below it. I am trying to have all the text in the row
    centered horizontally.

    Any advice on how to control the margins around the PayPal button.?

    Thanks Laurence.

    I gave this a whirl and it did not appear to work.

    The button is still top justified with a margin below. My HTML looks like
    <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"
    style="margin-bottom:0">. The HTML before style="margin-bottom:0" is
    generated by PayPal.

    I confirmed the large lower margin by setting the background color of the
    cell to red and sure enough the button is at the very top with red all
    around. Nothing appeared to change with the added code.

    I did this in 'preview' mode and in 'local publish' mode. I have not
    published to web yet - didn't want to go live until I am ready. Don't know
    if that matters.

    Do you have any further recommendations? How about a web source for HTML
    coding info that might discuss this further?

    Thanks for your assistance.

    I resolved the issue for my application by using a negative parameter of -35
    rather than 0 in the HTML style="margin-bottom:-35".

    It took some playing around with to get the spacing the way I wanted it. I
    also tried margin-top: which simply cut pixels off the top of the
    PayPal button.

    Thanks for the lead.

    If an integer other than 0 is used, you need to add px like so:
    style="margin-bottom: -35px"

    Make sure to test in ALL major browsers. Negative margins can produce
    surprising results.

    Thank you.

    I did not add 'px' but will go back and do so.

    I have another PayPal issue, actually more of information for which I will
    begin another subject.

    Thanks again.
