<input type="button" value="Fake click on Next"
 onclick="document.forms[0].elements['B_X_TN,QPN3'].click();">

Works in the following browsers: IE 5.01SP2, Netscape 4.61 and Mozilla 0.9.1+
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010613

Of course, you just move the onclick event code
(document.forms[0].elements['B_X_TN,QPN3'].click();) to wherever you want to
fake the clicking of "Next".
