title: Checkbox Stays Checked on Page Refresh
body: <p>This a pretty simple question (I assume).  Probably a repost, but I couldn't find the answer here... so here we go.</p>
  
  <p>I have a checkbox on a page that I want to default to "unchecked" (unless I specify otherwise in my php).  </p>
  
  <p>When I refresh the page, if the box was checked, it will stay checked which is no-bueno because checking the box adds a dom element to my page via a function attached to the box. So the problem is if I refresh, the box is still checked, but the dom element doesn't exist (because I haven't fired the function and I don't want to unless the user checks the check box) but the box is <em>ALREADY</em> checked and I end up in opposite land where <em>UN</em> checking the box creates my dom element and checking it removes it.  </p>
  
  <p>Basically, the question is...</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to default a checkbox to unchecked without javascript? </p>
  
  <p>BTW I haven't checked (no pun intended) in any browsers other than FF 3.5.10</p>
