Remarks on the HTML 4.0 Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/html40) =================================================================== 17.4 The INPUT element (interact/forms.html#h-17.4) --------------------------------------------------- - DTD value CDATA #IMPLIED -- required for radio and checkboxes -- ------- -------- - Attribute definitions value = cdata [CA] This attribute specifies the initial value of the control. It is optional except when the type attribute has the value -------- "radio". Remark: 'IMPLIED', 'required' and 'optional' are still used contradictory ('value' is required for radio a n d checkboxes due to the DTD, but is required for radio o n l y due to the Attribute definitions). This could lead to different implementations. The default value 'on' is supplied by IE 4.x and NC 4.x for both control types (checkboxes and radio buttons).
