this works perfectely.
the only "prob" i have is my php script now.
f.e. when it asks for subaction's value it has to be "book" or "print",
the words that appear on the buttons.
but in a different language like german "buchen", "drucken"
it would no longer work.

for that cas i could use an image of course
or produce it dynamically with php.

but anyway: is there a possibility to split
the value of the button
and the value written on the button?
