PayPal Button in Livescycle Fill-in form

Feb 24, 2006 4:37 PM

I have created a form in Livecycle Designer that calculates the total amount due after you have made your selections. I need to have that total amount on a PayPal Button. PayPal has their "Buy it Now" button in HTML. Is it possible to do this? Is anyone willing to help me out on this?

I had no problem designing the form, but I am not good at XML and JavaScript.

Thanks

    Hi
    Please repost your question in the LiveCycle Designer forum. This is the LiveCycle Workflow Designer forum. (Confusing, I know.)

    It has been posted there for awhile with no response. I was told by Adobe Tech support today to post it here, to get to the people that could help.
    I told him I didn't want to get "flamed" for posting in the wrong place.

    Is this process so elementary that my ignorance is showing, or is this really that complex of a request that it can't be done? I have posted on at least 6 different forums including PayPal forums to no avail.

    Sorry for misplacing this post.

    Hi Jodie

    Try putting the following Javascript code under a button on your form. You'll need to tweak things a little to make it work with your form.

    // Get the item name and cost from a field on the page
    var name = form1.page1.ItemName.rawValue;
    var cost = form1.page1.Cost.rawValue;
    // Construct the paypal url. Change the email address and currency code as appropriate
    var url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=me@mybusi ness.com&currency_code=USD"
    // Append the item and amount parts of the url
    url = url + "&item_name=" + name;
    url = url + "&amount=" + cost;
    // Launch the web page. true means "open in a new browser window"
    app.launchURL(url, true);

    Good luck!

    Howard

    Hello Everyone,

    I have the same issue; I would really appreciate some help too, please. Howard, I would happily apply your advice, but I'm afraid it would have to be put through a dumbing down before I would know how to use that!

    Many thanks in advance,

    NLF
