UPDATE SOLVED: Should be name = 'q1[]'

$("input[type=checkbox][name=q1]).click(function() {

    var bol = $("input[type=checkbox][name=q1]:checked").length >= 7;     
    $("input[type=checkbox][name=q1]").not(":checked").attr("disabled",bol);
});

I'm coming unstuck however, the need to serialize the results when saving means I have to have name set to name=q1[] in the PHP code and at this point, the above jQuery to limit the number of checked checkboxes stops working.

I've tried adding in `name=q1[]' but the code simply stops working!

Any suggestions?

Did you try `[name='q1[]']` or `[name=q1\\[\\]]`? – Frédéric Hamidi Aug 27 '13 at 14:46

@Tushar thanks but that's not the issue, Frederic has answered it - I completely missed the apostrophes! – Homer_J Aug 27 '13 at 14:50
