It also makes it more consistent with <select> 55630 2 mounir 2011-08-22 23:15:59 +0000 Uh? Seems really weird to me. We use the checkedness for value missing for radio buttons but the value being empty would have an impact..? In addition, is there any use case for that? 57822 3 ian 2011-10-04 23:44:49 +0000 What's the use case? Note that there is a submission difference between nothing being selected and an <input type=radio value=""> being selected — in the former case, nothing is submitted; in the latter case, the name is submitted. So it is included in the submission. It's not like nothing is sent. 58604 4 ian 2011-10-20 23:38:31 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
