OT, and not to throw a spanner in, but I assume if you're doing that,
you have an ID on every checkbox and a `for` on every label (so the
labels know what checkbox they relate to). You can avoid that and
ditch the span as well:
<label><checkbox>Label text</label>
That will automatically associate the label with the checkbox, no IDs
or `for`s required.

Do you know this before you create the grid? Or do you have to create
the grid before you know how many columns you have, and *then* sort
it?
