PayPal Standard Shopping Cart vs. Frontpage

[Guest]

Hello, I am new to Frontpage and have found it easy for the most part, but I
have one big problem I cannot figure out - anyone who replies to this, please
use small words and layman's terms, and thank you so, so MUCH!!:
- When I create an 'Add to Cart' or 'View Cart' Button in PayPal's Websites
Payment Standard and add it, copy/paste in HTML, to my Frontpage page, any
corresponding Drop-Down Box defaults to a left-justify versus center-justify
(what I want) in most browsers. I've tried to re-center it after the fact,
I've tried to adjust it in HTML (which I really don't know well, that's why
I'm using Frontpage), and it'll still jump to the left of the screen on most
browsers. I tried to skirt this by putting the PayPal Buttons in a
Cell/Table, but when I do this the cart doesn't work (the Drop-Down options
don't relay, and it won't add the item to my cart, and my default PayPal Cart
comes up blank). Can anyone help me, or know a way to cheat with centering
these type of buttons on my page so they'll still look that way on any
browser? Thank you for your time - I really appreciate it!

Each paypal button is a form (form tag w/ other form related tags inside of it)
- you need to copy or move the whole form to the table cell (not just the form button tag)

Post a URL to a page using one of paypal links to look at

Thanks for your reply Stefan!

i do copy the entire window/button code from PayPal. There's probably some
little piece of HTML I'm messing up, though.

Here's a page where i drop the PayPal buttons into a centered Frontpage table:
www.pinkysdailyplanner.com/BOWESKIRT_PAGE.htm
- note the cart is centered but items won't add.

Here's a page where I just drop and center it, no table or form:
www.pinkysdailyplanner.com/CHARLIECIRCLES_PAGE.htm
- here the cart works but the 'SIZE' drop-down menu juts to the left, no
matter how I try to center it.

sometimes it'll work in a MSN browser; try it in Netscape or Firefox and it
doesn't look right.

Thanks again Stefan, eagerly waiting for your reply :-] !!
