They do send variables. They just don't send values. It's annoying.
What they send are the coordinates of where you clicked. For example:
<input type="image" name="mybutton" src="someimage.gif">
sends:
mybutton.x=52
mybutton.y=121
one of the only ways I've figured out around this is to put the value
that you want the button to be in the name itself, then parse out the
value after it's been submitted. Like this:
<input type="image" name="mybutton_572" src="someimage.gif">
It's a pain in the ass, but it works.
