It's all down to the parent Element you choose to wrap these form elements with. It doesn't have to be a span as I had it, you could just give the enclosing paragraph or LI an id and away you go. What you could not do -- what you are correct to assume here -- is use this vague syntax with the form as the parent:
$('theFormId').select('input[type="checkbox"]') will indeed return ALL the checkboxen in your form. $('theFieldsetId')... $('theListItemId')... $(''theParagraphId')... $('theLabelId')... (this one is even semantically correct!) Any of these will work, adapted to the structure of your form.
