HTML Control not working

I have an HTML control and also tried an RTA control. I have identical code in each which is a simple code to provide a PayPal button. This is working in Dreamweaver.

See Simplified Update below for a workaround.

In WB21 the strangest thing happens.

I put 2 tables in the HTML. #1 is a UK PP button and #2 is a US PP button.

If I click on #1 it fails with "Invalid HTTP Verb" but clicking #2 works.

If I reverse the tables exactly the same happens, so it is not the code as both work in different positions.

After a lot of testing and head scratching, even with just 1 table in the code, either that fails OR if 2 tables are present the FIRST occurrence always fails with the 2nd working.

It is as if something needs to be initialized before the code will work.

This fails on my local device and live and I have absolutely no idea why.

Now for the cracker!!!! Put 2 controls on the page and HIDE control #1 and it works!!!!! Delete Control #1 and it FAILS!!!!!

SO there is a way round but it is mad. Any ideas please?

SIMPLIFIED UPDATE ........

Put an HTML control on a page with PP button code and it does not work saying Invalid HTTP Verb.
Now Put another control BEFORE that with code in and the 2nd button works but not the 1st.
Conclusion .... For it to work you need 2 controls on the page, both with code but the 1st button hidden.

That makes no sense but it's true.


Thx.
