RE: xsl checkbox

Well, the HTML 4.01 specs say the checked attribute is a boolean value, so
it should be set false or true.
Check the link I provided and you will agree.

About the short way, you may be right. I do remember having used 'selected'
without the true or false assignment in the <option> control. It may be very
well be valid also for the 'checked' attribute.

Cheers, Pieter

  the correct way to do this is

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

    Cheers, Pieter 

no, the value should be checked not true, the SGML shorthand


checked

is short for _any_ attribute declared in the dtd with value checked, it
isn't short for the checked attribute with some value.
