This is really easy to find out. Make a test HTML page, change the method in
that form to GET and click on the picture using your browser. Then you'll get
to see how it creates the request...

When there's no name on the picture, it isn't used. Then the coordinates are
specified such as "x=156&y=98" or similar. If you set a name=moo on the
image, then the coorinates will appear moo.x=156&moo.y=98...

I'm certain you'll get this working now!
