Windows Internet Explorer 8 and later. In IE8 Standards mode, parsing operations on the IHTMLInputElement::checked content attribute always affect both the IHTMLInputElement::checked content attribute and IHTMLInputElement::defaultChecked Document Object Model (DOM) attribute. For example, IHTMLEventObj2::removeAttribute sets both IHTMLInputElement::checked and IHTMLInputElement::defaultChecked to VARIANT_FALSE. Similarly, IHTMLElement::setAttribute sets both DOM attributes to VARIANT_TRUE (as if the element was being re-parsed) For more information on IE8 mode, see Defining Document Compatibility.

Internet Explorer 8 and later. In IE8 mode, the IHTMLInputElement::defaultChecked DOM attribute reflects the value of the IHTMLInputElement::checked content attribute.
