Something like this would work I think:
var dbox = $('#<DIV ID>');
var cbox = $(':checkbox', dbox); // This should be the checkbox.
I don't know if you can do it like this or not as I've never tried:
var cbox = $(':checkbox', $('#<DIV ID>'));
In either case, I prefer the two lines as I think it's more readable.
