You haven't defined a `value` attribute for each checkbox. <input type="checkbox" name="event_list" value="{{ event.id }}" id="event{{ forloop.counter }}" /> Also, in your view, you should use `getlist` to get the value - `get` only gets the first element if it's a multi-valued field. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
