Is it necessary to make a radio button in a fieldset checked? I know that it is a requirement for WCAG 10.4 but how useful is it? I'm a bit worried by setting one as checked for say, indicating a user's gender in a form, and then that user hitting return accidentally and sending information that they haven't actually entered. I guess the same applies to checkboxes. For text inputs the problem is less because the form will just submit something like "enter your name" instead of a name but with buttons the data sent could be valid. tia J.
