Browser Quirk: Dynamically appended checked checkbox does not appear checked (IE)

Problem
Dynamically appended checkbox element does not appear checked despite setting the checked property state to true or "checked".

Browser
Internet Explorer

Example
The Javascript code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var cb = document.createElement("input");
  2. cb.type = "checkbox";
  3. cb.name = "checkbox1";
  4. cb.id = "cbID";
  5. cb.checked = true;
  6. obj.appendChild(cb);
Solution
Use defaultChecked instead of checked:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. cb.defaultChecked = true;
Alternative Solution
Set the checked state after appending the checkbox:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. obj.appendChild(cb);
  2. cb.checked = true;
