Enumeration problem

G

Guest

I am using Paypal shopping basket buttons on my website but in Frontpage 2003
the code changes every so often (not sure what causes it) so that a number is
entered after the following code variables (apparently this is called
enumeration):
'page_style'
'business'
'cmd'
name='submit'
This causes direction to Paypals site instead of to the 'add to basket' page
when the add to basket button is clicked.
I can correct it by going into each button and take off the number at the
end to correct it (e.g. page_style5' to 'page_style').
I have also unchecked the box against 'Make ID unique on paste' in Page
Options as I was told this would prevent it. But it still does it.
It comes back when I change something (not everything and I haven't
identified what yet) so is there a permanent fix?

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Comes from coping form fields w/ the same field name
- illegal html
Create a separate form for each Paypal item

Thanks but not certain what I need to do. The html was copied and pasted
which I think is what you mean is causing it. It starts:
<form target="paypal" ......
and ends:
</form></div>

Is it this I need to change?
Thanks again.

Copy the whole form code, not just the field to make more items

I use Paypal to create the html for each item and then copy and paste it. Is
this not a whole form? Forgive me - I'm a beginner with html.

I have now named all the forms with a short description of the product so
they are all different on the page (<form name="Elliot Rattle"
target="paypal" ......).
I thought this would be it, however I have now found that it is upon
re-attaching the Dynamic Web Template to these pages that causes this
enumeration (even after naming the forms).
My website is OK (without the enumeration at present) but all my Frontpage
03 pages have the enumeration on them now - aaaahhh, I have to delete all the
numbers again now.
Do you know why the DWT would be doing this - I have a Paypal View Basket
button coded into this but I have even named that form just in case this was
the problem but it still does it.
Any ideas?

FYI: You can not have any spaces in the form or field names.

Thanks, I have amended these in FP and done a test (attached the DWT again)
but it still does it!!!
Is there really no solution to this?
