but did not function when the using checkbox as a button.

simply, I just want is to set the button below..

like the checkbox is checked in example:

<html><head>
<link type="text/css" href="css/smoothness/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#check" ).button();//when not a button it works .. just uncomment it.
$( "#check" ).attr("checked",true);//??
});
</script></head><body>
<input type="checkbox" id="check" /><label for="check">Toggle</label>

You need to specify class or id... e.g: $("#btn")

try this...

$(".btn").attr('checked',true);

As i can see you are missing . or #, depends upon whether btn is id or class
