sweet! thanks dude, worked like a charm. i was trying to put a hover class on the image with no luck.

this worked:

<div id="navButton">
    <form id="ppform" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
    <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="blah blah blah">
    <a class="navButton" href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('ppform').submit();return false"></a>
    </form>
</div>

thanks again
