I am using checkbox in HTML

To make it unchecked, you do not have to specify anything. The default is unchecked.

If it is happening on page refresh, you would have to code some JavaScript to reset the checkboxes on the page load.

I am using checkbox in HTML.When I am unchecking checkbox in html using

checked="no",checked="false"

its not unchecking.

what are the values i can use for checking and unchecking checkbox.

Here it is one more time: if the checked attribute appears, the checkbox will be checked. It doesn't matter what you set the value to.

In fact you don't even need a value for the "checked" attribute.

<input type="checkBox" checked/>

works just fine. If it isn't checked it will be sent as null so you can just check if the parameter is null. In my experience the value attribute for a checkBox--more often that not-- is superfluous. If other data is needed to be sent with the specific checkBox you bind a js function to the onClick of the checkBox and pass the HTML object to the function.
