"var checkbox = $("#" + checkboxId) // this is being found as
> expected"
The part you are missing is that "checkbox" is a jQuery object, not a
checkbox DOM object
so:
"checkbox.checked"
sure would error because there is no ".checked" property of a jQuery
object
so:
checkbox[0].checked
would work since the first item on a jQuery array is the DOM object
itself
make sense?
