paypal code

I'm trying to add paypal shopping cart to my site. I get my data from ms
access using asp. I added paypal code to my page. Can you tell me how can I
pass my data to paypal variables? What is the format? You can see the paypal
code here .The two variables are Item_Name & Amount and my two fields are
ITEM & PRICE. As you can see I should replace "HTML BOOK" & "24.99" with my
item & price. I tried this format and it didn't work
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value<%=(FP_Field(fp_rs,"price"))%>>
I'm using fP2003 and win xp.

I thank you in advance

<form name="_xclick" target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com"
method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="me@mybusiness.com">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="HTML book">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="24.99">
<input type="image" src="http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif"
border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and
secure!">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
</form>

When using the FP DBRW your variables need to be generated inside of the DBR region (inside of yellow area) as say
<% amount = FP_Field(fp_rs,"price") %>
<% item_name = FP_Field(fp_rs,"item_name") %>

Then you can use them later on the page as
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value"<%=amount%>">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value"<%=item_name%>">

Thanks Stefan
Your solution is perfect. But I can't insert those codes inside the ye11ow
area( or burgundy fonts in code area). FP editor rejects them. Should I add
these two variables to my table? Please help
Thanks

Hi Stefan
Please disregard my last post. Inserting codes was no problem. But the codes
must read as this:
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value= "<%=amount%>">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value= "<%=item_name%>">
Thanks again
