As always, there a many ways.

What I usually do is use Firebug to peek at what Cake assigns as the
ID or, if I want more control, I assign the IDs myself. Sometimes the
quick answer is to forget about being 'generic' and actually hard code
the function, i.e. instead of writing
    [pseudo]
        foreach checkbox:
            do something
        endforeach

It can save development time to write:
    [pseudo]
        do something to xx
        do something to yy
        do something to zz

Or put them in an array:
    [pseudo]
        checks = array(xx,yy,zz)
        foreach checks:
            do something
        endforeach

Sorry if I seem a little patronising, but I sometimes find myself
agonising for hours over the best way to write five lines of code when
I could have written the same function in two minutes with ten lines.
There has to be a justifiable balance between maintainability and
producibility.
