Description
Hello,
i'm unsure if this is a bug, but when i have a checkbox:
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" name="checkbox" checked="checked" />
and uncheck the box with:
$("#checkbox").removeAttr("checked");
defaultChecked, is set to FALSE.
When done by js:
document.getElementById("checkbox").checked = false;
defaultChecked is still TRUE.
Is this a bug or just the way jquery is meant to be?

Yes, this is intended behavior. We understand that boolean attributes correspond to their default properties, but in order to provide backwards compatibility (since the .attr() method worked primarily with properties prior to 1.6), we added a hook for booleans to give users the most commonly expected behavior. This may be deprecated and eventually removed in a future release.
