[Petal] How do I use selected/checked ?

[wsmith]

If you get the decode: modifier from Petal::Utils, you can keep it in
one:

<input type="checkbox" petal:attributes="checked decode: myinput/checked
1 1" />

This reads:
If the value of myinput/checked is exactly 1, set the checked attribute.
Otherwise, do not set it.
