WebKit handles this the same way as Python's cgi module. You get a string
if one checkbox is selected, or a list of strings if two or more checkboxes
are selected.
I have a method like this in my SitePage (base class for all of my servlets)
that I use to get list fields:
def listField(self, field):
value = self.request().field(field, [])
if not isinstance(value, types.ListType):
value = [value]
return value
There has been discussion in the past about adding something like this into
WebKit, but it hasn't happened yet (probably because it's so easy to just
add a method like this into your SitePage).
