alternatively, you could do something like this:

&lt;script LANGUAGE="javascript" TYPE="text/javascript"&gt;
function SetAndSubmit(val) {
	document.theform.selecttype.value = val;
	document.theform.submit();
}
&lt;/script&gt;

<FORM NAME="theform" ACTION="formhandler.php" METHOD="get">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="selecttype" VALUE="">

<P><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="somefield" VALUE=""></P>
<P>
<IMG SRC="path/to/image" ONCLICK="SetAndSubmit(1)" ALT="button 1">
<IMG SRC="path/to/image" ONCLICK="SetAndSubmit(2)" ALT="button 2">
<IMG SRC="path/to/image" ONCLICK="SetAndSubmit(3)" ALT="button 3">
</P>

</FORM>

now your formhandler will get 'selecttype' with a value of 1,2 or 3 depending on which button was clicked

It might be better to have the three options as menu choices and have the relevant redirects associated to them instead of the submit buttons.

Each form really should only have one submit button. You might want to rethink how you're setting up the choices. Do you have an url we can see and maybe we can come up with a better solution?
