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.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>
