Error description
When setting a checkbox in heritage coach, the value returned is different when using Internet Explorer (IE) or FireFox (FF) after visibility of the control change from disabled to enabled. The difference is due to the different ways that IE and FF handle a 'checked' attribute/property. When using getAttribute, IE returns the "checked" dom property while FF is looking for the "checked" attribute which is different from the 'checked' property in the DOM.
