Depending on your user base you could consider using the button tag:

<button type="submit" name="rm" value="mode1"><img src="yourfirstimage.jpg" /></button>
<button type="submit" name="rm" value="mode2"><img src="yoursecondimage.jpg" 
/></button>

However i seem to recall that the button tag does not render in Netscape 4

Cees,

No, unfortunately you can't. When an image submit button is used the 'value'
attribute is not passed with the form parameters. What you get out of the
image button is a 'rm.x=29' and 'rm.y=47', the numbers being the pixels
where the user clicked from left and top of the image.

Try it with a simple form set with a 'GET' method, and an action pointing at
itself. You'll see the form parameters in the URL, but you won't see an
'rm=mode1or2' parameter. Hence the reason for the question.

Of course this is tested with a Mac IE browser, I haven't tested others to
determine if they deliver the value attribute of the image field. But in
documentation of the image submit field, I think it's the standard to not
send the value.
