title: checked="checked" not working in chrome
body: <pre><code>&lt;input type="checkbox" name="Type[]" value="Red" checked="checked" /&gt;&lt;span class="space-right"&gt;Red&lt;/span&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Properly sets checkbox to checked in firefox and safari but not chrome. Can't find any info about this online.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know how to fix this?</p>
  
  <p>Have also tried the naked <code>checked</code> as well as <code>checked="true"</code></p>
  
  <p>Not looking for a js solution, thank you.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: The answer by taco below describes what the issue was. When using forms and input elements, the elements must be properly nested in <code>&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;</code> tags or the <code>checked="checked"</code> has no effect. Here is an example of a jsfiddle that proves this to be true on chrome 29.0.1547.57: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/LnL7b/">http://jsfiddle.net/LnL7b/</a></p>
