[page form="mv_order_item=[item-code]
             mv_order_quantity=1
             mv_todo=refresh"]<img src="/images/orderitnow.gif" 
alt="Order It" width=250 height=35 border=0>[/page]

This has worked for me for many years. may have to change [item-code] 
to [loop-code] (note you have [loop_code] at the top instead of 
[loop-code]
