createElement not working in IE

[onlyshanks28]

Hi,

I wrote a javascript code as follows

function fun1()
{
                var element = document.createElement('input');
        element.type='checkbox';
        element.checked='checked';
                body.appendChild(element);
 
 
}

this code is working fine in Firefox but in IE the checkbox is creating but it is unchecked.
I want a checked check box(It is coming in firefox)

Help me out please

try:
element.checked = true;

thanks for response

I got it.It can be done just by writing
element.checked='checked';
after append
as follows the complete code:

function fun1()
{
 
var element = document.createElement('input')
        element.type='checkbox';
        body.appendChild(element);
        element.checked='checked';
}

That's correct, or you can use the defaultChecked property. See Dynamically appended checked checkbox does not appear checked.
