http://jsbin.com/ehedu/edit
But I just don't have the hang of using "this" correctly and knowing
when to refer to dom elements as dom elements or as jquery objects...

table cells), and not to the external container (table or ul list or
whatever), and yet be able to read and write the value of the
checkboxes...
