"System.Argumen tException: Invalid path for child request
'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'. A virtual path is expected."

Hi,

Use Response.Redire ct with query string (as far as I know PayPal support
it).

Server.Transfer () only lets you transfer on your current server and
application. Use Response.Redire ct() if you want to go to another site...

Hi,

You can add new Form without the runat=server attribute and set it
action to the PayPal page.

You are right ,
I had never noticed the exact messge when trying to put multiple form
:
it says :

A page can have only one SERVER-SIDE form tag

now if my form is within my server side form , it will be treated by
the server side = not posting .

is there a way to have your cake and eat it too .

can a form be inside a server-side form and still post to it's action
param ?
I know I'm asking weird stuff but its a nice exercice :)

thank you
