Do yourself a favor and get rid of the short open tags and quick echo tag syntax. Use the long tags; it will make your life easier in the long run.

 

[-]The proper HTML syntax ( I believe) to display a checkbox is <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" checked="checked">[/-] <--- Nevermind, I was thinking of the selected="selected" syntax in an <option></option> tag.

 

 

EDIT: Have you checked the page HTML source to see what the tags look like?

Yes i checked the HTML and everything looks fine... what do u think could be the mistake.

By looks fine, do you mean the checkbox tags have "checked" in them where they're supposed to, but still aren't checked on the page?

the check have checked in them, when i checked them they will check, but if i return to the page to see if it checked the checkbox is always empty...

1. If your using the "Browser Back Button": Your brower is not storing the previous page's form data (Not Caching its history). I believe firefox does this by default - unless the page has no cache headers/metas).

2. If your reloading the page (clicking a link/refreshing), You need to save the data somehow, simply making a html form and trying to make it save its state wont work. You need tangible variables tored either in a Browser Cookie/File on Server or DB on Server.

 

Hope this helps.
