7695 - Checkboxes seem to have opposite effect on forms

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 6159

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Hicks]

Browser: Mozilla M6 on Linux

Forms that use checkboxes can have some unexpected results.  Apparently,
checkboxes are checked by default, although they look unchecked.
http://www.hotbot.com will search for all of the available media types (image,
MP3, video, JavaScript) by default.  If all of the boxes are checked, Hotbot
will not explicitly search for any of those types.

Another site, http://members.tripod.com/~vladamear/checkboxes.html (a game where
you check as many checkboxes as possible in 20 seconds) should count up as more
and more checkboxes are checked, but in Mozilla M6, it actually counts _down_
(kind of cool, actually ;-)

This is a linux specific problem.  I have a bug for this already.

Marking dup of 6159.
