Here is a new function that actually loops through the checkboxes:

function updateopen() {
	var c_value = "";
	var cb = document.getres.checkbox;
	
	for (var i=0; i < document.getres.length ; i++) {
		if (document.myForm[i].type=="checkbox" && document.getres.checkbox[i].checked) {
			c_value += document.getres.checkbox[i].value + "\n";
		};
	};
	
	alert(c_value);
	//window.opener.document.getElementbyId(numbe33).value = c_value
	//window.close();
}

"cb is undefined"

Your problem is document.getres.checkbox is not giving you a list of checkboxes.
Instead I suggest you to loop through the rows of of the <Table> where you have placed your chekcboxes.
What you have to do
Assign an ID to the TABLE (<TABLE id = "holder">)

and below is your updated function:

function updateopen()
{
var c_value = "";
var cb = document.getElementsByName('checkbox'); 
var tbl = document.getElementById("holder");//This will get u the Table
var tbody = tbl.childNodes[0];//This will get u the TBODY tag
var rows = tbody.childNodes;//This will get u the list of all the Rows in the TABLE
//alert(tbl.childNodes[0].tagName); 

    //for (var i=0; i < cb.length ; i++)
	for (var i=1; i < rows.length ; i++)//We start from i=1 not 0 because the first row dows not contain checkboxes
   {
  // if (document.getres.checkbox[i].checked)
  if(rows[i].childNodes[2].childNodes[0].checked)
      {
      //c_value = c_value + document.getres.checkbox[i].value + "\n";
      c_value = c_value + rows[i].childNodes[2].childNodes[0].value + "\n";
	  }
   }
alert(c_value);
//window.opener.document.getElementbyId(numbe33).value = c_value
//window.close();
}
