title: MVC bool EditorFor value always true in JQUERY
body: <p>I have the following bool on my form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
      @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.IsMonday, "Monday", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
      &lt;div class="col-md-10"&gt;
          @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.IsMonday)
          @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.IsMonday)
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which renders as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
              &lt;label class="control-label col-md-2" for="IsMonday"&gt;Monday&lt;/label&gt;
              &lt;div class="col-md-10"&gt;
                  &lt;input class="check-box" data-val="true" data-val-required="The IsMonday field is required." id="IsMonday" name="IsMonday" type="checkbox" value="true" /&gt;
                  &lt;input name="IsMonday" type="hidden" value="false" /&gt;
                  &lt;span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-for="IsMonday" data-valmsg-replace="true"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
              &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Regardless of whether I check the box, in Chrome Dev tools the following results in true:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#IsMonday').val()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is this happening, and how can I find out whether the box is checked or not i.e. true or false, not just true.</p>
  
  <p>This question is not helping me in case anyone recommends it:</p>
