The requested URL /<a target= was not found on this server. - Error when I try to go to my shopping cart link.

I get this error when I try to go to my shopping cart link.

The requested URL /<a target= was not found on this server.

Here is my php code.

<html>
<head>
    <title><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,700" type="text/css">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
</head>
<body>

    <div class="header">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <h1 class="branding-title"><a href="./">Shirts 4 Mike</a></h1>

            <ul class="nav">
                <li class="shirts <?php if( $section == "shirts" ) { echo "on"; } ?>"><a href="shirts.php">Shirts</a></li>
                <li class="contact <?php if( $section == "contact" ) { echo "on"; } ?>"><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
                <li class="about <?php if( $section == "about" ) { echo "on"; } ?>"><a href="about.php">About</a></li>  
                <li class="cart"><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_cart&amp;business=X7WQRN83U2G74&amp;display=1" target="paypal" >Shopping Cart</a></li>
            </ul>

        </div>

    </div>

    <div id="content">

I think the reason for the error has to do with the target in the anchor tag, but I don't really know what to do to fix it.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks!

I don't think target="paypal" is a thing. You can use target="_blank", target="_self", etc. read more about the a target attribute here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
