How to validate a Paypal button

Problem validating Paypal html code

I am having problems validating Pay Pal buttons, even when I use my own buttons and attach the pay pal coding. I have the html code written right, and indicate width and height of my buttons in quotes, yet the validation always says I have no attribute border, height and width.

I suspect that Pay Pal adds a code that I am unable to see or correct. Any suggestions on how to make these buttons validate?

BuckerBucker, can you post a snippet of the markup which does not validate?

One other note.....

The semi-colon after height="60"> is not in the code. It was a piece of a space code inadvertantly left in when I copied this snippit.
