Bj, Yes, there is a load of hidden stuff to give name of book, price and so on. The Javascript solution looks good, though I have a bit of study ahead to know exactly how to do it! The button solution I use elswhere with my own gif. But this all raises another problem that I suspect has no solution. If I open browser source, there - repeated as many times as I call the file - is the form code. In that code - so that paypal can send buyers to the download page - is the download page url; anyone could take and not pay. I am sure there are some elegant solutions to this, but I suspect they are all beyond me. If you could direct me to a place to find theanswer I would be grateful, though.
