Answer 1

You can loop through all of the checkboxes by writing $(':checkbox').each(...).

If I understand your question correctly, you're looking for the following code:

var str = "";

$(':checkbox').each(function() {
    str += this.checked ? "1," : "0,";
});

str = str.substr(0, str.length - 1);    //Remove the trailing comma

This code will loop through all of the checkboxes and add either 1, or 0, to a string.
