How get the checkbox value and pass it into tn ?

Answer 1

I think your template should be…

{% for tablename in tablenames %}
    <input type="checkbox" name="tn" value="{{ tablename }}" />
{% endfor %}

And the code should be (I believe that .GET also handles .POST vars as well in WebApp2):

tn = self.request.GET['tn']
