checkbox

Id like to be able to create checkboxes for a list of objects. Then offer the user a number of actions to perform on the objects selected. I.e. delete, archive etc.

I know of ryan's screencasts but it doesnt explain how to create links to multiple actions for the selected objects. It just showed him create a form_tag with a url to one action and a submit button.
