Hi all,

I just wanted to clarify that the input tag as described below will not
work as intended:

<input type="image" name="mv_click"  value="Checkout">

When an input type of "image" is used, there can be no value associated
with it and
so mv_click is never assigned a value and the [set Checkout]  will never be
executed.

You can try it out on this simple page that I set up:

http://www.invisio.com/testform.html

View the source of the page and try the buttons.
The cgi script is very simple and simply shows
the content of mv_click 

Plus some security checks :)
