Looks like you got a bit too fancy here where you only needed a simple one-liner. In particular:

  • the "prepend" should be done directly on each list item (not the parent)
  • the argument to "prepend" should be the HTML string instead of a jQuery object
  • you don't need to create a variable
  $(this).prepend('<input type="checkbox"/>');
