[jQuery] on click on a checkbox, highlight complete table row


Hi, sorry, for this newbie question:
<input type="checkbox" name="paradigm[]" value="{$value.ver_id}" />
How can I check if this checkbox is checked or not?
And how can I avoid this check for this particular checkbox: <input
type="checkbox" id="paradigm_all" />
Thanks so much!!
