title: How can I make a check box default to being "checked" in Rails 1.2.3?
body: <p>How can I make a check box default to being "checked" when it is initially displayed? </p>
  
  <p>I've not found a "Rails" way to do this (that works) so I did it with JavaScript. Is there a proper way to do this in Rails? I'm using Rails 1.2.3.</p>
