checkbox mark disappears..

[mallika shah]

Hello friends,
I am working on a web page where there are 5 checkbox selections on left page navigation, based on which the items would be displayed.
under five checkboxes, there is a submit button to search based on checkbox criteria,
But when i click the search button,, the items are displayed according to the criteria, but hte check mark disappears,
I want the check mark to be persisted , so the user is able to know based on what selections he has got he products list.

How to do it?

thanks,
mallika

You need to specify 'checked' to keep its state, e.g.

<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar" checked>
