      <p>Send you resume to potential employers</p>

      <form method=post action="sendresume" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
      <p>Resume file: <input type="file" name="resume_file"></p>
      <p>Send to:</p>
      <p>
      <input type="checkbox" name="send_to:list" value="jobs@yahoo.com">
        Yahoo<br>

      <input type="checkbox" name="send_to:list" value="jobs@microsoft.com">
        Microsoft<br>

      <input type="checkbox" name="send_to:list" value="jobs@mcdonalds.com">
        McDonalds</p>

      <input type=submit value="Send Resume">
      </form>

       Why does the name field of the checkbox contain the ":list" part? What does that do?

       This is standard HTML, to tell the browser that all these options belong to the SAME check box widget on
       screen.
