I am trying to pass variable information to paypal payment screens. The
required directions says that I can pre-populate my customers sign-up by
passing information that I collected and passing it on to paypal. I need to
post variable name and associated data to Paypal in the HTML, thus it needs
to be dynamically generated by my website
example
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="mr variable"

What scripting language does your host support, as that will determine how you will pass values from
the form to PayPal?

It uses vbscript, but would a generated html be on the client side?

Ok, so you can use ASP/VBScript, this would be server-side, unless you only want to deal with IE
only users.

Sorry I forgot to ask, are you storing any of the data entered by the user in a database as well as
sending them to PayPal for making payment? If not, then you can handle this very easy, by just
create individual form field with the names that PayPal indicate as hidden fields, and then post the
form data directly to the PayPal server.

Thanks that seems simple enough...
