>>>>>However, when you click reload in your browser, the check box remains unchecked however the value of the checkbox variable remains the same (ON in this case). I am searching for a way to reload the page such that the value is empty, as it is when you first run it.<<<<<<

hmmmm - so what you're saying is that when you first run the script that displays the form, the display shows: 

<input type='checkbox' name='CheckBox' value=''>

and after you run the script, the display shows: 
<input type='checkbox' name='CheckBox' value='ON'>

?????? ..... if that's the case, then you have something going on that you're not sharing with us, me thinks.

And FWIW, when I work with dynamic form stuff (and more specifically, checkboxes), I'm looking to create displays that end up using "checked" to control the display .... after all, my understanding is that it's the "checked" aspect that controls wheather the submission "sends" the value to the script - like: 

<input type='checkbox' name='CheckBox' value='ON' checked>
