pagination, multiple submit buttons, ...

<input type='checkbox' name='item' val ...
<input type='checkbox' name='item' ....
<input type='checkbox' name='item' ...
...


in order to read on server, which of them has ben checked and values selected , need to wrap them into <form> tag, right ?

I allso have pages navigation buttons(so called pagination) on page, like:


< a href = " ....?p=1
< a href = " ....?p=2
< a href = " ....?p=3


, so that means converting them to bunch of submit buttons or what ?
I mean this can't be done as form has only one


action="....


Any thoughts ?

hmm to answer myself, I need to covert

< a href = " ....?p=1

into

< input value =


But this pagination is then not clickable and then user cant make a link to one of subpages, which are now determined by <a href= "... ?p=
