Brian:

Thank you *so* much for your help with this!

I found that I could even do:
  $('#selected_courses input:radio:checked[name="' + curr_ordinal +
'"]')

I'm skeptical about your explanation of the value for checked because:
  1) in Firebug's DOM inspector the value shown for the Javascript
property
      of checked is true;
  2) my use of true worked in the later case of:
       $sel_courses.find('input[name="' + curr_ordinal + '"]
[checked=true]')
My guess without checking is that "checked" is the correct value for
HTML mark-up (and perhaps CSS) but is not the JS value.

But you've helped me enormously and I'm very grateful!
