Write input type="checkbox" id="{$CB_ID}" onclick=""/>

It's called an "attribute value template" which should help you to look
it up in your favourite XSLT book.

By the way, try to get out of the habit of writing

> <xsl:variable name="CB_ID">
>      <xsl:value-of select = "ID"/>
> </xsl:variable> 

when you could write

<xsl:variable name="CB_ID" select="ID"/>

This might seem a cosmetic difference, but you're putting the XSLT
processor to a lot of trouble to construct a tree, or to work out that
you don't actually need one, when all that you need is a string.
