integration with paypal which can prevent the default redirect

HOw can I keep my customers on my page and display a localised shopping cart then have a checkout button to direct them to paypal. I was thinking if you included somwething like this. if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == post){ preventDefault(); } then further down the page you could have a 'checkout button' with a function redirect_to('myBusinessAccountWithPayPal URL');

Unfortunately I don't know the answer, but give it a shot. The worst that will happen is you have to change it back.

Thanks Ted, |I tried it and it does prevent you from navigating but then when you try to navigate your customer to the exact same address at the checkout button, paypal won't allow it and brings you back to their home page. I am trying a new approach with their developer tools.
