Menu
I am used to doing this in jQuery
$('#RememberMe').attr('checked', true);
but I can't remember how to do it in Javascript I thought that
document.getElementById("RememberMe").value = "True";
would work, but it doesn't, it changes the value but does not create the visual check on the html.
I am trying to set the checkbox to on by default. here is the html
<input id="RememberMe" name="RememberMe" type="checkbox" value="false" />

To get the state of a checkbox, you follow these steps: First, select the checkbox using a DOM method such as getElementById() or querySelector() . Then, access the checked property of the checkbox element. If its checked property is true , then the checkbox is checked; otherwise, it is not.
The Input Checkbox defaultChecked property in HTML is used to return the default value of checked attribute. It has a boolean value which returns true if the checkbox is checked by default, otherwise returns false.
The checked attribute is a boolean attribute. When present, it specifies that an <input> element should be pre-selected (checked) when the page loads. The checked attribute can be used with <input type="checkbox"> and <input type="radio"> . The checked attribute can also be set after the page load, with a JavaScript.
To change checkbox state try this:
document.getElementById("RememberMe").checked = true;
If you need to change the value of checkbox as an input element use:
document.getElementById("RememberMe").value = "New Value";
However, you can set default value and state in HTML markup:
<input id="RememberMe" name="RememberMe" type="checkbox" value="The Value" checked="checked" />
