Remarks on the HTML 4.0 Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40)
=======================================================================
17.2.1 Control types (interact/forms.html#h-17.2.1)
---------------------------------------------------
- checkboxes
' ... A switch is "on" when the control element's selected attribute
is set. '
--------
Remark:
Because 'selected' is an attribute of the OPTION element,
this should be written as:
' ... A switch is "on" when the control element's checked attribute is
set. '
The related link should be: "forms.html#adef-checked"
17.4 The INPUT element (interact/forms.html#h-17.4)
---------------------------------------------------
- DTD
value CDATA #IMPLIED -- required for radio and
checkboxes --
------- --------
- Attribute definitions
value = cdata [CA]
This attribute specifies the initial value of the control.
It is optional except when the type attribute has the value
"radio".
--------
Remark:
'IMPLIED', 'required' and 'optional' are used contradictory. This
could lead to different implementations.
The default value 'on' is supplied by IE 4.x and NC 4.x for both
control types (checkboxes and radio buttons).
