I didn’t dismiss what you said, but isn’t the problem with that
pattern that if I have other radio button sets on the same page it’s
going to pull those back at the same time? And that means I'm going to
have to look at the name of each item and decide if it’s part of this
set of radio buttons or another set of radio buttons?
The way I see it if I want separately selectable items, I'd be using
Check Boxes. The fact that I'm using a Radio buttons is that I want
them to operate as a group and I want to process them as an array. In
standard onclick processing, you add an onclick to each type=”radio”
and in the function run through the array looking for the selected
item, and return the value.
What I want to avoid doing if possible is avoid writing code that is
dependent upon knowing the names used in form since I want to reuse
the code as needed.
It seems such as obvious thing to do I’m convinced I’m going about it
the wrong way!
