Hi,
Thanks for helping, but I'm baffled by something right now, maybe you can
shed some more light? See the bottom of this email:

OK, here's what I tried, but when you click on an image it loads the same
page that it is called from, rather than going to the right perl script:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function gowhere(num){
if (num == 1){
document.myform.source.value="pwapprove";
}
if (num == 2){
document.myform.source.value="disabled";
}
if (num == 3){
document.myform.source.value="new";
}
document.myform.submit("/cgi-bin/clientlist.pl");
}
//-->
</script>
Note that it really just has to call one script, but feed it different
values for the same named variable.
Further down in the html generated by the script that created this page in
the first place:
<form name="myform" method="post">
<input type=hidden name=uid value="$uid">
<input type=hidden name=first_name value="$first_name">
<input type=hidden name=source value="0">
The $uid and $first_name are filled in by the perl script that generated the
page.
and...the image buttons:
<input type="image" name="I1" onclick="gowhere(1)"
src="/test/images/n_s_passwordrequests.gif" width=139 height=22 alt=""
border="0"><br>
<input type="image" name="I2" onclick="gowhere(2)"
src="/test/images/n_s_disabledclients.gif" width=139 height=20 alt=""
border="0"><br>
<input type="image" name="I3" onclick="gowhere(3)"
src="/test/images/n_s_makenewclient.gif" width=139 height=20 alt=""
border="0">
Any ideas why I'm getting a reload of the page, instead of a post to the
proper script?
Thanks, I've gotta dig into this javascript stuff more...
