Is there a way to restrict the check_boxes function to its related
table?

Yes.

A document.table_id DOM object would seem to be the answer, but I can
find a reference to a table object.

Use:
var table = document.getElementById("table_id");

To find all the elements with the correct name inside that table, then
do:
var elems = table.getElementsByName("checkboxes_name");
That gives a collection of the elements inside the tabel, that has
the name "checkboxes_name".

Obviously, it requies the browser to support these W3C DOM methods,
which rules out Netscape 4 and IE 4.
