 * I am setting up an admin area and so far it is going okay. I have one text box
   working fine. It updates the database and all is well. I am trying to add an 
   image upload using the wordpress media uploader. I have it displaying properly,
   it uploades the image fine, but when I press the save changes button, the input
   field empties. and nothing shows in the database. I have a feeling that I know
   what the issue is but I don’t know how to solve it. If I try to change it what
   I know it should be, the whole thing stops working. Here is my form
 *     ```
       <input id="upload_image" type="text" size="36" name="upload_image" value="" />
       <input id="upload_image_button" type="button" value="Upload Image" />
       ```
   
 * I am using the new method of creating an admin area
 *     ```
       register_setting('about_options','about_options','validate_settings');
       	add_settings_section('about_page','About Page','section_cb','about_settings');
       	add_settings_field('logo','Add An Image','paradiso_image','about_settings','about_page');
       ```
   
 * so right now, when I press the save changes button, I do see the option_name 
   showing up in the database, but the key, value is empty in the option_value field.
   I can get as far as having the option key show up, but the value is empty. I 
   am running this upload script
 *     ```
       jQuery(document).ready(function() {
   
       jQuery('#upload_image_button').click(function() {
        formfield = jQuery('#upload_image').attr('name');
        tb_show('', 'media-upload.php?type=image&TB_iframe=true');
        return false;
       });
   
        window.send_to_editor = function(html) {
         imgurl = $('img',html).attr('src');
         $('#' + formfield).val(imgurl);
         tb_remove();
        } 
   
       });
       ```
   
 * I did not write the script. Can you help?
