You're not using the checked attribute correctly. It has no value true or
false. If you wish to assign a value to it (in xhtml you MUST assign a value
to it) the value is "checked". However the value is not evaluated ever, it's
just a dummy placeholder. Just the presence of the checked attribute means
that the button should be checked, weather it's value is set to "true",
"false" or "barbara streisand". When you have a zillion buttons that all are
checked, the last one remains checked. This is what you are experiecing
right:
<input type="radio" name="foo" checked="checked" />
<input type="radio" name="foo" />
<input type="radio" name="foo" />
wrong:
<input type="radio" name="foo" checked="true" />
<input type="radio" name="foo" checked="false" />
<input type="radio" name="foo" checked="donald duck" />
(All are checked)
Only set the checked attiribute to the element you want checked, and it's
value should be "checked", and not set it to any of the other elements.
