Xpath to determine checkbox “checked” attribute in Selenium IDE

Question

How to determine if a checkbox is check or not through xpath

Currently I am trying :

//input[@type=\'checkbox\' and @checked=\'true\')]

Answer 1

However, there are solution without using css classes and selectors.

Use

//input[@type='checkbox' and @checked]

or

//input[@type='checkbox' and not(@checked)]

instead of

//input[@type='checkbox' and @checked='xyz']
