Re: submit() buttons don't work

Just a few debugging suggestions. 1) make sure you put all variable info in quotes "but1" "but2" etc. 2) change submit method from post to get, this way you can see in the actual URL that the data is making it to you form. I think this will make you problem self evident, at least it should.
