I just responded to a separate but similar suggestion.  The form
elements, including the buttons, are all generated in a separate function.
I am currently passing about 5 variables into this function and I am a
little hesitant to pass any others.  I am not sure about complexity,
performance, etc. in passing so many variables into a function.  Please let
me know if anyone has any ideas on this.  I doubt that this is happening,
but I would really like for the code to be as easily maintainable as
possible.

a button is being pressed?
so it is processing a form?
if its in a form just pass along the value of $td via hidden input data...

<input type="hidden" name="td" value="<? echo $td; ?>">
