Your right. It seems that the input type 'image' does not recognize a name 
or value attribute - though browsers will be tolerant if you give if 
one.  You will have to resort to a 'click_map' or a javascript trick (see 
the 'Checkout' button on the construct demo basket page) for this.  Take a 
look at the docs on Forms (Interchange Templates is the correct section, I 
think) for info on click maps.
