I'm trying to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear :) I have a form where purchasers can deselect items they've added to their shopping cart. All the hidden fields have been numbered according to the items they *originally* selected. If they deselect an item, then it will probably necessitate a renumbering of all those hidden fields, since PayPal doesn't tolerate misnumbering: everything must be numbered "1" for all the hidden fields of the first product, "2" for the second, etc. If the customer selects 5 products and deletes the 3rd, then I need to renumber. I wrote a script that can do that. Now, I have to send the form to that script, with all its lovely hidden fields, then reproduce it somewhere so I can send it off to PP. That is, the form must return from the called script to a new page and deliver all the renumbered hidden fields.

Must be the problem, but how do I do that?

You might check out the basics about HTML forms first. The 'action' parameter is an URL and *not* some Python-like function call. You specify the destination URL inside the action attribute and pass the parameters as *hidden* form parameters to the URL - either using method GET or POST.? ?
