jquery - selecting checkboxes as a group -

i use code below loop through checkboxes. works, it's getting every single checkbox on page. there way select group of checkboxes share same name, class, or exist in same div container?

thanks

 $('input[type=checkbox]').each(function () {  ...do stuff 

filtering name :

$('input[type=checkbox][name=yourname]') 

or

$('input[type=checkbox]').filter('[name=yourname]') 

filtering class

$('input[type=checkbox]').filter('.myclass') 

filtering parent :

$('input[type=checkbox]', parent)
