passing value through form

I have this button named "strUpdate" for updating cart, i am trying to pass the value of the button strUpdate to my new page so that i can perform an if/else test.... here is my code for the form, but somehow it just doens't read it when i am on the other page.

<input type="image" src="images/update_cart.gif" name="strUpdate" value="Update Cart" onClick="document.form1.submit();"> on the original page

when i try to call it on the other page
strTest = request.form("strUpdate")
response.write (strTest)
nothing shows up
and this code works for netscape and not IE...
anyhelp would be great! thanks

<form action="newPage.asp" Method="POST">

make sure your input object is in <form> tags
make sure your form tags look soemthing like this...

it is...

any other suggestions?

Hi

Wouldn't an INPUT image send a coordinate? Try:

MK

it was sending the coordinates using .x but i want to submit the preset value that i gave for that button... is this possible using an image button in the form ?

basically what i am trying to get at is sending the preset value of the image button to a different page so that when they click that button, i can do a test on the preset value of the image button and NOT the value of the inputted values....

Probably the easiest way to get around this is to use a workaround - use a href

<a href="myfile.asp ? myvalue = VALUE" ><img src="../myimage"></a>

Then (usually the top of your target page) use:

request.querystring("myvalue" )

Hope thats helps. HH.
