the val() method returns checkbox value incorrectly

Description

Starting from the version 1.4 jQuery always seems to return the value of checkboxes "on", with the val() method. It does not matter, if the checkbox is checked or not.

Noticed it on Chromium daily build on linux, but it seems to act like this, also with the Firefox 3.5.5.

jQuery 1.3.2 seems to work fine.

See the attachment.

Didn't you forget a value attribute? If you just wanted to know if the box was checked, you should use :checked or look at the .checked property.

I don't see what is invalid about the original complaint. The point of val() (to me) is that I can get an input value without checking the control type. Now I have to.

Please follow the  bug reporting guidlines and use  jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
