checkbox IE8 bug
IE8 has a bug where if you check a checkbox then print the form the checkbox does not show as being checked. MSFT bug #431489 I’ve found that this piece of code solves that problem and it works for HTML5.
IE8 checkbox printing bug FIX
// fix for ie8 printed checkbox bug
$('input[type=checkbox]').live('change', function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')){
$(this).attr('checked', true);
} else {
$(this).attr('checked', false);
}
});
You can also try this method of changing the DOCTYPE tag if you don’t need HTML5 markup.
