Thanks altCognito, your solution helped. We can also do this by using name of the checkboxes:

function updateTextArea() {         
   var allVals = [];
   $('[name=chkbox]:checked').each(function() {
      allVals.push($(this).val());
   });
   $('#t').val(allVals)
} 
$(function() { 
    $('#c_b input').click(updateTextArea);
    updateTextArea();
});
