Why not do it with JavaScript?
Don't have the buttons as type="image", but have them as real images, and
have an onClick method which calls a JS function to set the Action
Have the default Action as a hidden field, then just set
document.myForm.Action="whatever" in the function
As long as the user has JS enabled, then it'll work fine
