PayPal buttons not working - Help! Please!
We had an HTML site built for us, but wanted to change the prices of each package. After doing that (and after changing the PayPal email address using the HTML editor) the prices on the main page of our site has not changed. Also, when you click "View All Packages", you cannot even click on the buttons... they do not open anything.
The website is http://www.mysocialdude.com
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Cobol, there's a bit more to who designed the site than first meets the eye. Not a bespoke commissioned job. Google the quote above and you will get the idea.
Good Scam!
I would say the guarantee will be worth as much as my EE points... Nope probably less if we count shirts.
Considering the quality of the code, I don't think I really want maintenance from the same source.

In the meantime perhaps take up the offer made by the seller when the site was sold to you in order to keep it live:

Hey now. 3.1 million points and $4 buys you a nice cup of coffee....

Thanks for the help. We just hired someone to fix it... and no we didn't screw up the code using an HTML editor @BillDL. All we did was changed the prices. Cut out the old price, paste in the new. Using Notepad. There's no way we're even dumb enough to end the </form> tag too early and mess everything up lol. Thanks for the help guys! :)
Glad you got things sorted.
"There's no way we're even dumb enough to end the </form> tag too early and mess everything up"
I wasn't suggesting you were dumb, but you did refer to an "HTML Editor" and mentioned you had edited price and email address within your form code. Using web page editing software can very easily stick tags in the wrong place when editing in the "what you see" page rather than editing the code directly. I had no idea you were referring to Windows Notepad as the "editor". I assume you used the browser's View menu > Page Source, which is an excellent way to edit the code and get quick results by refreshing the page after saving.
In that case I totally agree with COBOLdinosar. The original web designer should be hung up by his privates and beaten to death with a teaspoon for such an elementary screw-up ;-)

Sounds like by "using the HTML editor" it screwed up your code.
What "html editor" did you use?
Was it one of those online editing functions provided by the web hosting company of your website?
I would urge you to do as COBOLdinosaur has suggested, and that is to try and learn some HTML coding so that you can perhaps edit things like your prices without fear of messing things up, or some application messing it all up for you.
This, in my opinion, is one of the best sites out there to quickly build up an understanding of how the code works using the "try it yourself" examples provided.

It goes from absolute beginner to pretty advanced stuff. You will see the section about "tables" linked to in the left.
In the meantime perhaps take up the offer made by the seller when the site was sold to you in order to keep it live:
"No maintenance or any technical knowledge is required. I also offer free support for as long as you will need so you will not have to worry about not knowing what to do to profit from the site."
