Opening new tab but not going to it

[PlecPicker]

Is there anyway i can make the paypal 'add to cart' button not go to the 'cart' page when clicked?

Obviously still open it up in a tab, but i want it to stay on the current page so more stuff may be added...

This is proving a lot harder than i thought...


any advice?

<a href="some_url" target="_newtab">Click here to open in new tab</a>

<a href="some_url" target="_newtab">Click here to open in new tab</a>

I've never heard of "_newtab". The nearest I'm aware of is "_blank", and that will not do what is requested here.

Sorry, I didn't understand you right.
You should use AJAX for adding product to the cart and stay on the current page. But you also should use javascript and php for this purpose.

<a href="#" onclick="return ajaxAdd();">Add to cart</a>

And javascript code will look like this (with using jQuery):

function ajaxAdd() {
  $.ajax({
     url: 'your url',
     type: 'post',
     date: {some data},
     success: function(){
         //some code here
     }
  });
  return false;
}
