Something I'm Trying To Create
Hi,
I don't know if this is even possible, I'm sort of "intermediate" when it comes to html and javascript. What I want to do is, have a chatroom on my site but not a free one. Can anyone advise how I might integrate a paypal button so that whoever wants to chat uses the paypal button before that's possible? I know I can just create a page, put a chatroom on it, and then put a paypal button on the page as well, but I'm trying to make it less steps than that. Any ideas?
Thanks:)

This could get a little complex, going beyond HTML and Javascript...
You'll probably want to create a membership system, so you can validate who clicked to pay and also contacts them if there are any problems. In fact, depending on how PayPal works (not too sure), you might be better off creating a subscription service to your chat room. Only registered members who have paid can enter, and so on.
I may be wrong, but I can't imagine a system whereby any visitor must only click a PayPal button to enter, being robust and effective.

Yeah I was kinda thinking a subscription thing might be the way to go without having to hire a programmer. heh Paypal does offer a subscription thingy so either I read your mind or you read mine. lol So hmmm...how to implement a membership system, now that's not a bad idea either. Off to google, thanks Abhishek! My site is really a WordPress blog, shouldn't be too big a deal. (famous last words)

you can use cookies or you can use phpnuke phpnuke.org. I've also used LockedLite for members area. You'll have to delete the free sign up to prevent people from signing up for free. Locked area lite is htaccess management and is not automated but it would work for you: http://www.locked-area.com/html/

If you want something really simple, you could use something like a
Bravenet Password Gate...

combined with their free chat

Unfortunatly, from what I am told, the password gate is manual management, and limited numbers of users allowed.
