LWP and <input type=image...>

I'm attempting to automate a form submission that uses a series of
tags, but I can't seem to figure out what I
need to post back to the server. If I watch the POST request using
LiveHTTPHeaders, I see the x & y coordinates being posted (as expected
from the spec), but I'm not sure how the event/form handler on the
server interprets it, nor how I would simulate that behavior using
LWP.

Has anyone dealt with this before? I'm at a loss after Googling and
reading up on how the ASP.NET postback handler works it's magic on
these types of forms, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Use WWW::Mechanize, which wraps LWP, and use the submit() method.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll try that. I still feel like I'm
missing something, though - what actually happens (from the
perspective of the request / POST) to "tell" the server what button
was clicked? I've checked out the click() and click_button() code
from WWW::Mechanize and it was obvious to me what was going on under
the covers.

Any input is appreciated,
Chris

Wow, I must've been in a fog the last day and a half. The browser
needs to send the x & y coordinates of the image that was clicked,
which includes the name/index of the control.

Nevermind, thanks!
