Yes. You still need to test in the action script.

Or in the cgi that processes the data, but I have to do that anyway.



Why can't you simply use two buttons, with neither hidden and neither
selected as "checked"? Such as:

Per the spec (html401 17.2.1 Control types),
"At all times, exactly one of the radio buttons in a set is checked. If
none of the <INPUT> elements of a set of radio buttons specifies
`CHECKED', then the user agent must check the first radio button of the
set initially."

In the past I have had problems with different browsers complying to
varying degrees, and I don't want an inadvertent default to give me
permission the used didn't intend.

Drop list box? Ain't pretty but would satisfy your situation

<select name="permission">
<option value="">Please Select</option>
<option value="ayup">Yes</option>
<option value="nope">No</option>
</select>

Take care,
