<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="POST">
....
<a class="button" href=""><span>Buy Now</a>
</form>

In the above code how can I use the <a> tag to process the form? I don’t want to use a submit button since most of my css code only recognized the attribute.

    use jquery like:

    <form id="myForm" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="POST">
....
<a class="button" onclick="$('#myForm').submit();" href="#"><span>Buy Now</a>
</form>

    you’ll have to include jquery for this

    or plain javascript:

    <form id="myForm" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="POST">
....
<a class="button" onclick="document.forms["myForm"].submit();" href="#"><span>Buy Now</a>
</form>
