In reply to: PayPal links NOT working in Internet ExplorerAh! Got it figured out. And yes, your solution was correct.
The problem was that my PayPal button image had come from the code that was for websites (remember WordPress requires one to use the email link). Anyway, I was using the email link, but linking to a button image that must have still had some code attached to it from the website version! What I did wrong: I took code from the website version of the button and attempted to take out what I thought was just the code for the image, leaving the other elements behind, such as the form action attribute, etc. And since it worked perfectly on Safari and Firefox, I assumed all was well. However, the snippet I was left with (which displayed the button just fine) must have brought something along with it that IE didn’t like.
So, as you suggested. I just created a new button image (not from the code coming from PayPal, but just using a regular-old jpeg) and linked it with the email link from PayPal like I was supposed to. And voila! Problem solved.
Thank you!

In reply to: PayPal links NOT working in Internet ExplorerThanks. I’ve looked through those threads before and don’t think the answer is there. Those questions deal with PayPal issues in non-WordPress environments. I believe one links to PayPay buttons in a different way in a non-WordPress website — you don’t use the email link.
So, I just sent a message to PayPal tech. support (the link was handily provided in the references you linked to). So, we’ll see..
If I get the answer, I’ll post it here.

In reply to: PayPal links NOT working in Internet ExplorerThanks for replying.
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Do you mean you want me to link to the url of my site so that you can look? http://www.kunzang.org/giving/
Or, do you mean can I use the code from PayPal for “website” instead of “email” to link to the PayPal button? If so, yes, I tried that, but doing it that way didn’t work any browser. I think you’re supposed to use the “email” link for PayPal buttons in WordPress.And I just checked on IE version 11 and it doesn’t work.
