Dave,thankyou so much for the kind reply.I regret to inform you that after trying to copy from one of the old pages I have the same issue.This is one of the first things I tried to do.
As simple as I am with this I tried by get to the issue by process of of elimination and down the list I went.

I realize this is stumping some people....even the trouble ticket guys are sending me links to the PayPal button installation tutorial.

As far as the "sandbox" that you see in the code,that was added yesterday(well after this issue started) after trying to install the first button with bv10.It should still do something more than refresh the page,even if it is a "make believe" transaction.It should at least appear to link to the paypal site.

This next paragraph is not directed to anyone,just a thought of mine...

I'm still at a loss,I realize how easy it could be to read my plea and have the assumption that I'm just another guy who didn't read or listen to the tutorials.I spent a good part of my life while putting the site together over the last several months doing nothing but watching tutorials and reading.I may have missed something but it wasn't in the PayPal button setup tutorial,in fact I can lipsync that tutorial,I seen it so many times..

Dave,Thankyou for your comments and observations.I apologize to you and the older fellas about the long winded novel that wasn't "broken up into paragraph form".
I can't express in this forum how grateful I am that someone cared enough to offer up to this challange of mine... Any other comments or observations are welcome..I am desperate for a remedy!
Thanks again,Mark
