[mv] submitting forms

I'm having a heck of a time with my basket page. I just can't get the 
miscellaneous controls working together for deleting items, returning 
to shopping, changing quantities, and jumping to the checkout.

In particular, if I try to do something like this:


<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="mv_todo" VALUE="default checkout">

blah blah

<input type="text" name=[quantity-name] value="[item-quantity]" size=3
  
onChange="this.form.mv_todo.value='refresh'; this.form.submit();">

it just doesn't work. the thing goes right ahead to the checkout page.

similarly, if i do this:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="mv_todo" VALUE="default refresh">

and then

               <TD><INPUT
                     TYPE="image"
                     NAME="mv_todo"
                     onClick="this.form.mv_todo.value='checkout'"
                     src="images/checkout_shop_but_F2.gif" border=0><TD>
            </TR>

the thing never goes to the checkout page, it just keeps refreshing

The docs mention mv_todo.checkout.x, but there I can't find anything 
that indicates how to use it.

I'm perfectly happy to believe that this is actually a Javascript 
problem -- but that doesn't help me get where I want. It seems the 
only thing that WILL work (& I'm not sure of that) is using 
yucky-looking default buttons instead of images for the Continue 
shopping and Checkout buttons.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
