You could use my Values plugin (
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/values ) and do:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input[name^=day]").change(function () {
var all = $('input[name^=day]').values();
for (var day in all) {
if (all[day] !== null) {
alert(all[day]+' was checked');
}
}
});
});
rather than just the value of the first matched one, this will give
you all of their current values in a key-value object.
