Good point Ben. Still it would only be one line in ZAP to get what
noskule is wanting, and it could be kind of cool...

I'm not too keen on phony image buttons.  They don't click right!

On the other hand the problem is an extremely irritating one in html.
How do I assign a button a POST value that differs from the display
value. In this case I would want the abort button to have a value of
some nextpage page in the POST value, but would want to show cancel in
the button display. Is there anyway to do this?
