Sounds like a bit of a silly question, but I am wondering what is the best way of stating that a checkbox is checked/unchecked in HTML.

I have seen many different examples:

<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" />
<input type="checkbox"  />

<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" />
<input type="checkbox" checked="no" />

<input type="checkbox" checked="true" />
<input type="checkbox" checked="false" />

Which browsers work with which ones of these, and most importantly, does jQuery figure out which box is checked in all 3?
