If all these checkboxes are in the same container where no other
checkboxes are you can use somthing like this
$('#id input:checkbox:checked').length
Or if there are other checkboxes in the way you can give all these
checkboxes the same class name and do
$('#id input.classname:checkbox:checked').length
Think these should both work, if I've understood what you are asking
for.
