POST Method Not Allowed???

I am attempting to add PayPal shopping cart code to by website. I have pasted code that adds a "add to cart' button and code that adds a "checkout". the checkout works, but when I press the 'add to cart button' I get the following message:

The test web site is at wattswings.com/test

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /test/index.html.

Apache/1.3.34 Server at www.wattswings.com Port 80

Paypal claims I have the correct code. Do I need to set something up in my web site to allow this post method??

Thanks,

The problem is that you have two <form> tags in your code, which is causing the paypal link to go to the wrong place.

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<label>buyit
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</label>

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
...
</form>

</form>

(code trimmed for sample)
You need to remove the first form tag, or close it before the paypal form.

Far out, it is working. Thanks,

I have been playing with agora cart, but they don't have freebie hooks into paypal, so I am attempting to use the paypal cart. It is not as elegant or integrated with my web site, but it looks like it will work OK.

Thanks again

Just remember that you cannot "nest' form tags. One form tag MUST be closed before opening a new form.

HTH!

I'm receiving the same error (see below)... but because I'm trying to get a form saved to a database. Any advice?
