Solved! RE:Simple probably; javascript for form submission

[linux-5ZoueyuiTZhBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org]

Gah! My bad... it's working now.

My problem was that I had copied the original image submit line and
created a new line to play with the javascript. I didn't realize until
just now that in the commented line was an '<input type="hiddem" name="x"
value="y">' that I needed. Put that back and voila! Both yours and Lances
suggestions work.

  Thanks to both of you!!
