A checkbox or a radiobox value is commonly used to determine if a value
should be stored or not, therefore the value of a check/radio box is
static and has nothing to do with the state of the checkbox.
This is just to clarify what the common understanding is . I like to
know the reason behind what people do too so that's why i'm sending this.
