Indeed this solution does appear to be the best in that it does not rely on
client-side scripting, it allows for control of the icon/button appearance,
and it allows direct access to the "value" associated with the selected
button.  I had hoped to use POST instead of GET, however -- i didn't want to
pass the information via the URL.

To make the issues more clear (assuming everyone's not totally burned out
thinking about this one), I will submit links to working, example code in a
followup post. I'm swamped with a proposal i'm working on for my 'day' job,
however -- so stay tuned.

thanks for all of the insights/assistance!
