in javascript you can get the elements by their name/id/tag

alert(document.getElementById("checkboxid").value); //returns value from that ID
alert(document.getElementsByName("checkboxname")[0].value); //returns first instance of checkboxname's value
alert(document.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value); //returns first input value
