A few things I noticed:

1) you are going to get 1 form for each pass thru the dtml-in loop!? If this
is what you want ok, but if you don't, try something like:

<form>

<dtml-in objectValues prefix="loop">
<dtml-if expr="loop_item==ctfxml">

<input type="checkbox"  name="ids:list" value="<dtml-var id>" checked/>
<dtml-var id>

</dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

<input type="submit" name="manage_delObjects:method" value="Delete">
</form>


2)  Instead of having the submit call up manage_delObjects directly, have
the form call a dtml method which does the delete and then displays
something for the user.

eg.

<form action="DeleteStuff" method="POST">
...
<input type="submit"  value="Delete">



Then create a dtml method called 'DeleteStuff', which contains:

<dtml-call "manage_delObjects(ids)">
<dtml-var standard_html_header>
Have a Nice Day!
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>


Note: if your user is not logged-in (ie. authenticated) you will have to set
the proxy to 'Manager' for the DeleteStuff dtml method

Warning - this is all untested, but should get you going in the right
direction
