How to set default checkbox status with javascript?
<p>I am used to doing this in jQuery </p>

<pre><code>$('#RememberMe').attr('checked', true); 
</code></pre>

<p>but I can't remember how to do it in Javascript I thought that </p>

<pre><code>document.getElementById("RememberMe").value = "True"; 
</code></pre>

<p>would work, but it doesn't, it changes the value but does not create the visual check on the html.</p>

<p>I am trying to set the checkbox to on by default. here is the html</p>

<pre><code>&lt;input id="RememberMe" name="RememberMe" type="checkbox" value="false" /&gt;   
</code></pre>
