    <p><code>$(':checkbox')</code> is equivalent to <code>$('[type=checkbox]')</code>. As with other pseudo-class selectors (those that begin with a ":") it is recommended to precede it with a tag name or some other selector; otherwise, the universal selector ("*") is implied. In other words, the bare <code>$(':checkbox')</code> is equivalent to <code>$('*:checkbox')</code>, so <code>$('input:checkbox')</code> should be used instead. </p>
