I then thought I should use <input type="image">, but realised that

doesn't work in all browsers. IE, for example, has got the nasty
habbit of
submitting name.x=0&name.y=0 when these kind of buttons are
clicked, which
can make it really difficult if you have got multiple buttons in
one form
and you wish to detect which of them was clicked.
The .x and .y values are according to spec; any browser that doesn't
do this is broken. I suspect this is your best bet. Is the reason
it's difficult to use multiple submits because you are not receiving
a name=value in addition to the name.x=xx&name.y=yy values? If so,
then that browser is broken as well.
