Well for starters... you might want to do switch opposed to doing a lot of
cfifs... its a preformance thing.... and then when you do that you name the
buttons the same thing and switch on the VALUE of the buttons not the
NAME....
Now one way of using images is with a dynamic form element.. do <input
type="hidden" name="SWITCHEDSTATMENT" value=""> with this make the images
actual images then use a link to name the function and submit the form...
<a
href="javascript:document.form[0].SWITCHEDSTATMENT.value='Actionyouwanttobep
reformed';javascript:document.form[0].submit();><img src="../myimage.gif"
border=0></a>
<a
href="javascript:document.form[0].SWITCHEDSTATMENT.value='AnotherActionyouwa
nttobepreformed';javascript:document.form[0].submit();><img
src="../myimage2.gif" border=0></a>
See if that helps any... PS. i didnt really test it so there may be syntax
issues. Sorry
