First, you should never, ever, have more than one element on the page
with the same ID. That is the whole point of IDs, they are unique
identifiers. Your hunch to use classes instead is a good one. Once
you've changed the IDs to classes, you just use normal CSS selector
syntax to find them in the DOM. For example, if you give them the
class of 'test', you would select them like this:
$('.test')
or like this for improved performance:
$('input.test')
Of course if you've used that class name on other controls as well you
can narrow the selection to just your checkboxes like this:
$('input.test:checkbox')
