I want to paste the paypal logo/hyperlink onto a website and this is the code PayPal provides but it doesn't seem to work, after pasting all that shows is the code;

<!-- PayPal Logo --><table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" align="center"><tr><td align="center"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center"><a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/popup/OLCWhatIsPayPal-outside','olcwhatispaypal','toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, width=40
400, height=350');"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/bnr/horizontal_solution_PP.gif" border="0" alt="Solution Graphics"></a></td></tr></table><!-- PayPal Logo -->

If the code is showing then you're possibly placing it in the wrong place.

What CMS do you use to add things to the site? Is there something you have to do to insert raw html?

I just tried that in notepad and saved it as a .html and it worked fine - the code itself isn't the problem I think, its how you're putting it in.

What's not working?

remove the comments <!--> etc then try again

youre not setting up a Nigerian bank are you?

There's nothing wrong with that code though - its must be where he's putting it or something to do with the Content Management System.

Try it - copy and paste the code into notepad, save it as a .html file and open it: the logo displays without any problems at all.

The fact the code is showing as plaintext shows that its not a html error, if it was html you'd have a red X rather than code being displayed in most cases.

It has to be a problem somewhere else

That's just them commenting out via <!-- -->. They put that there so you can easily see what the code is reffering to.

Fook me, next time please format the damn code before posting ^^ PITA to read Also I hate code which opens some popups …

And the table is rather useless as well.

All you should need is the following.

<a href="https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/popup/OLCWhatIsPayPal-outside" target="_top"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/bnr/horizontal_solution_PP.gif" border="0" alt="Solution Graphics"></a>

EDIT:
Content Management Systems are the Satan of Webhosting when it comes to adding code …

i know, but i've had a problem before when copying and pasting code and it was the comment tags that did it.

Well your code doesn't do the same thing as their code :>

Though I totally agree with you on the EDIT part!

Well, I was actually asking for someone else, so I don't know exactly... But apparantley changing some tab to HTML made it work.

Yer I know, but I hate popups, so I prefer the target:"_top"
