Get group of checkboxes by name attribute in ExtJS

I am trying to get a group of checkboxes by the name attribute. For example, I have the following:

<input name="labs[]" type="checkbox" value="lab1" />
<input name="labs[]" type="checkbox" value="lab2" />
<input name="labs[]" type="checkbox" value="lab3" />
<input name="labs[]" type="checkbox" value="lab4" />

And Im trying to get that group by doing something like:

Ext.query('input[name=labs[]]');

But that clearly doesn't work because of the square brackets that are part of the name. I'm lost as to how to do this?

Try matching an input element that has a name attribute that starts with 'labs':

Ext.query("input[name^=labs]");

You could do a "starts with" match instead:

Ext.query('input[name^=labs]');

This will not work very well if you have other elements that start with "labs" though, so you may want to add another identifier to your "labs[]" name, i.e. "labs-check[]".
