[SOLVED] smarty error when implementing paypal donation form

[aura]

please help as i don't know what i'm doing wrong. i'm currently redeveloping a website for a charity and so far i've successfully implemented a 'single donation' form which links directly to the charity's paypal account. however, when i've attempted to implement a 'regular gift' form (for repeat monthly donations) i get the following smarty error at the top of the page:

string(287) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 26]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: document.donateform.iarsub15.checked=false;document.donateform.iarsub10.checked=false;document.donateform.iarsub5.checked=false;document.donateform.iarsub3.checked=false; (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446)" string(118) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 26]: syntax error: unrecognized tag '' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)"

i've noticed that the error only shows up when i copy and paste the code while the wysiwyg option is turned off and then submit the page. however, the form works. if, on the other hand, i switch back to the wysiwyg interface before submitting the page, then the smarty error disappears but i get an error in the form submission!! if i go back and look at the page, i notice that the quotation marks have been converted to " which is probably why it messes things up. (i've also noticed that the smarty error doesn't always appear?!?) help please!

thank you,

I don't see a problem with the form.

If you could put your template snippet (of the form) here, it'd be very helpful, since then we see if it calls for a non-existing smarty tag perhaps.

I allways put such logic in a GCB, and have WYSIWYG switched off by default for GCB in Global Settings and User-preferences, to make sure that  WYSIWYG doesnt do anything with that....

Then call the GCB in the place you want the form.... Opening a page with logic like this with a WYSIWYG will destroy the logic, so it is better to put this apart from a WYSIWYG area, so the GCB without a WYSIWYG would be a good place.... Otherwise it could be put in the template directly, as there is no WYSIWYG on templates as well...
