How to put PayPal Buy Now buttons in your DotNetNuke Portal

You can do this with a simple javascript trick.

Step 1. Remove the <Form> </Form> tags from your PayPal “Buy Now” code.

Step 2. Add
onClick=”this.form.action=’https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8217;;
this.form.submit();”

to the buy now input button.

Step 3. Paste what is left into the html module

What it does is change the action for the Form that is already embedded into the DotNetNuke default.aspx page.

Here is an an example:
