title: jquery label value and input grouping
body: <p>I have a form that I am creating that has values that need to change based on checked values etc.</p>
  
  <p>I know I'm overthinking the hell out of this.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div&gt;   
     &lt;span align="right"&gt;Skill 1:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  
     &lt;span class="amt" name="s_Skill1"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
     &lt;input name="i_Skill1" type="checkbox" /&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so this particular skill costs 3 points, but if one of the other checkboxes is checked, it's only 1 point.  I'm having some issues with identifying when something is checked, vs changing the value.</p>
  
  <pre><code>if ($("#i_Skill1").is(':checked')) {
              alert("changing radio button");
              $("#s_Skill1").text("0");
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems like I'm having to jump through a lot of hoops, like I should be able to change values and identify what I want/need to change.</p>
  
  <p>Here's a fiddle - <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/mattcushing/K5szE/31/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/mattcushing/K5szE/31/</a>  Yeah, I know, it's Dungeons and Dragons, but it was something my son asked for and I thought it'd be a good foray into jquery :)</p>
