input type = checkbox problem

Question

Why is this line not working?

<input type="checkbox" checked="no"/>
                    <input type="checkbox" checked="false"/>

Even though i have specified no and false in checkbox value both are checked by default.

Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

changing it to this will make the first unchecked, and the second checked :

 <input type="checkbox" />
 <input type="checkbox" checked />

To make the checkbox unchecked you need to remove the word "checked".

Answer 2

Try this -

<input type="checkbox" checked/>

The attribute "Checked" will keep your checkbox checked by default. If you do not have this attribute mentioned, then the checkbox will be unchecked by default.
