I have the problem that the paypal buy now button is pointing to another page on my website instead of to paypal....

Hello, I have the problem that when I add the paypal code for a "buy now button" that is generated on the paypal website, on a mouseover in the browser the image has another target in it to one of the pages on my website. So it doesn't point to the paypal webscr. If I look in the action field in Dreamweaver it looks alright. Also the target shows "paypal" and the method = POST. But somehow a link to the image is added..When I click on the image in Dreamweaver, there is no link in the HTML part bottom left. Does anybody have any idea how I can resolve this problem? Thank you already very much. P.S. I have atatched a html file that for example is not working (like other html files that give the same problem...)

I have already solved it myself....;-)

I did some troubleshooting, using the autocorrection feature of Dreamweaver and also by using "Inspect Item"of Opera browser, which can be very helpful. There seemed to be an old form where the paypal form resided in - so to speak. I removed that old form and now the paypal buttons are acting normally and directing to paypal instead of some other page.
