if you give each set of checkboxes a different class you could select them using jquery like:

$(".className").each(function(index, element) { ... });

for instance. somebody may be able to improve on this solution by selecting by name (i wasnt sure if you could do that, i always just select by class).

EDIT: sorry i should elaborate probably. the $(".className") piece will select all the checkboxes of class 'className'. since it sounds like you want to DO something with each of them though, i just added the each call on the end. inside the each call, you can define a function (shown) that will do something for each checkbox that was selected. reference the jquery each docs here:
