The template can generate its own HTML easily enough without using a
forms.Form, e.g.
<form action="/deletethingies/" method="post">
{% for t in thingylist %}
<input type="checkbox" name="thingies" value="{{ t.id|
escape }}" />
{{ t.longname|escape }}<br/>
{% endfor %}
</form>
Then, when you're processing the POST form data, it's absolutely vital
that you call the POST.getlist('thingies') method rather than just
dereferencing POST['thingies'] !
if httpreq.POST.has_key('thingies'):
selectedthingies = httpreq.POST.getlist('thingies')
I struggled with that for quite a while when I made my first checkbox
form in Django; I was expecting a list or tuple to be right there in
the POST for me to grab directly. But nope, you gotta use the
getlist() method.
