Martin, I added the suggested code. But the only difference i am
noticing is the "undefined" before the first entry from the array.

I would think that I would need to have several "sidebar" class
instances. Just to clarify what I am thinking:
Checkbox---
<div class="side_bar"></div>
Checkbox--
<...."side_bar"...>

Is this reasonable?
