Either give them the same names as the pages, or work by values.

Redirects will be your friend.

Either where the page is submitted, or by javascript.

The button has a onClick() function defined (or the form has an onSubmit() function defined). When the user clicks the button, the Javascript detects which radio button is selected, then uses window.location() to change the current page to the one you want.

Alternatively, if you have PHP or something, you can submit the form to a simple php page, which calls location() depending on which radio button was selected.

shít sorry i got it wrong!, when the submit button is pressed the action of the form is value i want changed?

Aha.

OK, so if someone chooses View, you want to go to view.asp, and that script uses the variables from the form for its own purposes?

Same still applies really.

Afaik, the method will have to be "GET", but I'm not 100% on that. Basically, when the submit button is pressed, use the Javascript to generate the GET line, and then add it into the window.location() function.

So instead of just calling
window.location("view.asp")
you call
window.location("./view.asp?var1=a&var2=b&var3=c")
Etc.

Can be substituted with a PHP script that does the same thing (although you will be able to POST the data in that case).
