There are some problems here. HTML::JQuery does not embed jQuery, allowing you to run jQuery code like the example you have provided. jQuery requires a JavaScript capable browser to run. Secondly this HTML has no values checked. This example is valid for jQuery running in a web browser, the log div will update to indicate which fruit is checked. I think you need to take a step back and figure out how the technologies in question actually work. To get values from a webpage they have to be submitted, the old fashioned way or the AJAX way, then server side processing of the values can take place.
