Paypal Button HTML in datagrid column

[jaycast]

I'm trying to populate a datagrid column with the paypal buy now button HTML that I am storing in my database. My goal is to have a table with merchandise information and a column that holds all HTML for the individual buy now buttons. Granted, this might not be the best way to do this, but I'm muddling through.

How can I go about generating the following sample dynamically from a database to a datagrid?

<form action="[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"[/URL] method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="image" src="[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif"[/URL] border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="-----BEGIN PKCS7-----MIIH... lots of characters...FaWCmOBKg==-----END PKCS7-----
">
</form>

I have done this before.
You can't put forms inside of forms, but this will work.

<form runat=server id=form1>
<asp:datagrid runat=server id=datagrid1>

<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn  HeaderText="Click to Buy">
						<ItemTemplate>
							<a href='#' onclick='<%# "PostForm(""" & DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"MyEcryptedPayPalValue") & """)"%>;return false;' ><img src="[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif"[/URL] border=0 /></a>
						</ItemTemplate>
					</asp:TemplateColumn>

</Columns>

</asp:datagrid>



<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" id="encrypted" name="encrypted" value="" />
</form>

<script language="javascript">
		function PostForm(value){

document.getElementById("encrypted").value=value

			var pp="[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"[/URL]
			document.forms[0].action=pp
			document.forms[0].submit()
			return false
			
		}
</script>
