I have this PayPal button set up . I wanted to have a drop down for amount and a second one for quantity.
I used the PayPal button maker to create the drop downs but the amount and quantity did not carry over-every time I tested it the amount in the cart default to the lowest price-$25 and the quantity doesn't carry over either.

I would like help making a drop down for both amount and quantity where both values carry over to PayPal.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" /> <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="3665970" />

I solved the problem. The answer was using a non-hosted clear text version of the code, removing the "Remove Code Protection".line. Hosted means that specific variables are stored on the PayPal Servers which in turn makes these variables tamper proof. Then the basic adjustments "took" and the drop downs work perfectly.

It's not clear what you actually removed from the code shown?

I want a similar, though simpler, button to allow different monthly subscription choices & have the same problem that no matter what choice is made the amount in PayPal defaults to the lowest rate, (although the description will be correct).

Can you please clarify what changes you made to the code to make it work?
