I use a checkbox created from a html string. when calling .attr() on the created element it returns "checked", but the checkbox isn't checked?

Actually it ''is'' checked. You can see it, when you append it to the DOM: http://jsfiddle.net/aZP6M/1/

The "checked" attribute ist a bool attribute, which means it is true whenever it is present regardless of its value.

resolution:	→ notabug
status:	new → closed

hmmm you are right, can be closed as invalid.

Also, if you want the dynamic value, use the checked property. See http://api.jquery.com/prop for the difference.
