I created a PayPal button for contributions to my group. It generated the html code.

1. When I paste the html code in our group profile (eg what shows up when you hit the "Home" button), it displays perfectly (I placed it in the source code window and hit ok when editing the existing profile, then updated the site).

2. When I paste that same exact html code in a message (opening the source code window, etc. and hitting "ok") it displays perfectly.? But when I SEND that message, and then view the message, it does not display correctly, only part shows up.

So my question is, why does the same code that works great when put in the group profile, not work the same when put in a message and sent?

Any clues???

Yes, some forms of HTML are removed from group messages. I've experienced a similar thing in the wiki, where my attempts to insert inline styles (benign things like "float:right") were unceremoniously stripped.

I'm not sure of the rationale, except that email/wiki markup could become a means of spreading malware by an enterprising subscriber. The home page stuff can only be updated by group owners, and on that basis may be less susceptible to abuse.?

Hope this helps,

This is an outlier, highly unlikely, but you might check that you don't have an anti-scripting tool in place that is tidying up for you. I can remember one case, a few years ago, when I scratched my head for some time over a similar problem and it turned out to be that an add-on to my own browser was interfering. Like I say, not likely, but it got me once. Bruce's points are more likely.
