Hey guys.

Today, I tried to look for an XHTML Strict Valid version of the donation button at the PayPal website. Unforunately, it has been toughter than I thought.

It's a donation button for one of my Microsoft Zune fan sites and I'd like to keep it XHTML Strict valid.

Anyone know how I could made the button XHTML Strict valid?

Thanks!

There is a way in Paypal you can generate a link for email purchases. You could just generate that, then just hotlink the image. Sure it won't be encrypted, but it is a work-around from the validation. If you need the exact code, feel free to ask me. :D

Can you post an example of the code you are using, minus the actual email address you include in the form?

Or, as Tyler mentioned, you can use a URL if you need, with the following format:
https://www.paypal.com/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=YOUR_EMAIL_HERE

Do you guys think that it's worth to make it XHTML Strict valid and leave it not encrypted?
