I have a similar process.
My solution was to put the <input type="checkbox"> into a <div id="cb_div">
I then use ...
$('cb_div').observe('click', function(ev){
if (4 == $$('cb_div input[type="checkbox"][checked="checked"]').length) {
ev.stop();
return false;
}
});
sort of thing.
Basically use a selector to find the number of checked checkboxes
inside the div holding the checkboxes. If this number is equal to or
greater than 4, then don't bubble the event / ignore the event.
If it is less than 4, then do nothing as the event will bubble and the
checkbox will get its click.
