Something like this:

----
<form action="employeeHandlers">

<p>Select one or more employees</p>

<input type="checkbox" name="employees:list" value="Larry"> Larry<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="employees:list" value="Simon"> Simon<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="employees:list" value="Rene"> Rene<br>

<input type="submit" name="fireEmployees:action"
value="Fire!"><br>

<input type="submit" name="promoteEmployees:action"
value="Promote!">

</form>
---

Depending on the submit button another pythonscript is called. At the
moment, I give that input type a name="action" and depending on the value of
'action' I decide which python script to perform. But perhaps there was a
better one, like we could do in DTML (as above)

I have had several meetings on the subject already. For them it's cleared
out, for me it's still not cleared out. I need some other meetings to do
before I think it is cleared.
