[jQuery] Re: Easy SELECT question for newbie

#3 errors because as of jQuery 1.3, the use of the "@" symbol is deprecated.

$('input[id$="ckKyW"]') <-- all input elements with an id attribute that ENDS WITH 'ckKyW'

see the "Attribute Filters" section of http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors

I am an extreme beginner so sorry for the basic question.

I have a number of checkboxes on the screen that contain
an "ID" with the characters "ckKyW" in it.
Checkbox Examples:
 whatever_ckKyW34
 whatnow_ckKyW67
 whoops_ckKyW23

I have tried every combination that I could think of
(a few of them are below) but I am not able to retrieve
only these checkboxes.  #1 below retrieves ALL checkboxes
but I know there is a way to retrieve only the ones I need.

Can some help me please.

Thanks,

#1
This works [ and I was proud of myself for getting this far :)  ]
//    var sChkBoxes = $("form :checkbox").each(function()
//    {
//        alert(this.id);
//    }
//    );


#2
// NO ERROR JUST DOESNT RETURN ANYTHING
//    var s3 = "";
//    $("form :checkbox").find("a[@id*='ckKyW']").each(function()
//    {
//        alert(this.id);
//    }
//    );

#3
// ERRORS
//    $("[@id*='ckKyW']").each(function() {
//        alert(this.id);
//    }
//    );
//    $("a[@id*='ckKyW']").each(function() {
//        alert(this.id);
//    }
//    );
