    <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>
