Fails in the earliest WebKit nightly build, r11976, with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165).

It seems this is done for winIE compability, see line 1047 of HTMLInputElement: 1047 return 0; // Match WinIE and don't allow unnamed radio b uttons to be checked. 1048 // Checked buttons just stay checked. See also test fast/forms/radio_checked_name.html. Cheers, Rob.

I'm not sure this is really the correct behavior for XHTML... maybe. I guess we should make sure this is part of the HTML5 spec.

IE8 doesn't do this, so I'm not going to make the spec say to do it either. Mozilla and Opera don't do it.

(In reply to comment #8) > IE8 doesn't do this, so I'm not going to make the spec say to do it either. > Mozilla and Opera don't do it. Hixie, apparently IE7 and IE8 do this now. See Bug 21534 Comment #5.
