typically when I build forms like that I have a database that is giving me
all the data so I only have to update the loop once for all the checkboxes
:-)
but yes you can use the $$() Selector method to use the names - I think you
have to do it this way though
$$("input[name='kitcat[]']:checked") //but I'm not sure how Sizzle will
handle the bracket in the name
or
$("input[name^='kitcat']:checked") //this is probably more safe but it
will match more elements as it gets all elements that have a name attribute
that starts with "kitcat" (starts with is ^= instead of =)
