Grant, thanks for your time and pointers.
I found that if I set a value explicitly for the radio button, that if
for some reason the form fails validation, the form is rendered again
setting all fields to those explicitly set values. This is problematic
(i.e. if a user chooses Yes for one question, the value is not carried
over correctly after validation to the same form.)
I tried setting the values in the controller, but can't seem to get
that to work properly. I figured I would try using html to code up the
radio buttons instead and that works in the sense that it does not
prepopulate the radio buttons with No. I think I would rather try
that, then have to add a bunch of code into the controller. I guess
this has something to do with the way the radio helper is coded.
Regards
