As previously stated classes would be better. Also of note, @ in attribute
selectors is deprecated, but better yet, input:checkbox (which is faster
than simply :checkbox I've been told). Also, if you insist on doing ids
instead of class, it'd be better to use the "starts
with<http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/attributeStartsWith#attributevalue>"
method than .each and a substr.
