******    message to minivend-users from "Fred Harju" <fred.harju@sympatico.ca>     ******

What about using a hidden form field as a flag? When the page is loaded,
your code could check the hidden form field and if it is 'ON' then thumbs
show else don't show thumbs.
You will have to put some javascript into the onClick event handler for the
radio button so that when the user clicks the radio button the hidden form
field is updated to reflect the click, change the action of the form to
submit back to the current page then submit the form. When the page reloads
it will check the hidden form field and take the appropriate action.

example form with onClick javascript event handler:

<form method=post action=[process-target]>
    <input type=hidden name="mv_doit" value="return">
    <input type=hidden name="mv_nextpage" value="nextpage.html">
    <input type=hidden name="ThumbFlag" value="OFF">
...
    <input type=radio onClick="this.ThumbFlag.value='ON';
this.mv_nextpage='thispage.html'; this.submit();">
</form>

I hope that this helps!!! Good Luck!!

Fred.
