You can't (legally) use a square bracket in an ID. You can in a name,
but that's not the same thing. What I usually do when I need this sort
of thing (for PHP processing, mostly) is to construct names and IDs
inside of a loop on the server, formatting them like this:
<input type="checkbox" id="foo_1" name="foo[1]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" id="foo_2" name="foo[2]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" id="foo_3" name="foo[3]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" id="foo_4" name="foo[4]" value="1" />
This would work the same way if you were setting all of them to empty
brackets (to let the browser work out the indexes for you) -- just set
each ID to an incremental number and don't let them clash with one
another.
