CGI form button w/ images

[David Gilden]

Hello,

Question concerning forms, 

I have buttons of the type: 
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Next 10 Entries" >
But I would like to use a button of type: 
<input type="image" name="action" value ="next" src="/images/btn_next.gif">
The problem is I need to pass values from the hidden fields to the script. 
with the <input type="image" ....> 
any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave
