Check if at least one checkbox is selected PER questio.n

Here we go again , searched and tried myself but none of the online examples are not the same as in my case. I have 2 radio based question and other 22 with checkboxes. My question is how to check if at least 1 checkbox/radio is selected on each question and display javascript alert in case they are not EG : “You have to select at least one answer on question number 3 “.

Note: The alert must contain question number . The CHECK MUST be done on form submit (if it fail it will return false , otherwise true and it will be processed.)

Example below:

<tr><th>- Question 1</th></tr>
<tr><td><input name="01" type="radio" id="01" value="F">
F</td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="01" type="radio" id="01" value="B">
B</td></tr>

<tr><th>- Question 2</th></tr>
<tr><td><input name="02" type="radio" id="02" value="9">
9</td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="02" type="radio" id="02" value="10">
10</td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="02" type="radio" id="02" value="11">
11</td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="02" type="radio" id="02" value="12">
12</td></tr>

<tr><th> Question 3</tr></th>
<tr><td><input name="c1" type="checkbox" id="c1" value="a">
This is checkbox1</td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="c1" type="checkbox" id="c1" value="b">
This is checkbox2</td></tr>

EDIT – edited after seeing the markup

$('form').submit(function() {
    var ok = true;
    var that = this;
    //get the <tr> inside the function, i assume thatyou have one question per <tr>
    $('tr th', this).each(function(idx, el) {
        var id = this.id;
        if (id) {
            if ($('input:checked[name=' + id + ']', that).length === 0) {
                alert("You must check at least one option for question " + $(this).text());
                ok = false;
            }
        }
    });
    if (ok === false) {
        return false;
    }
});

This is the markup i used (fiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/R7uwa/2/)
