This is a bit off topic, but since it just bit me in the butt, you might
want to take note. Opera doesn't pass radio buttons with null values. So, if
you have a radio button like this:
<input type="radio" name="mybutton" value="">
And the user selects it, you will not have a form value for it on your
action page. Kevin looked it up in the HTML spec, and apparently it conforms
to the spec, as no value = unsuccessful control:

form.
> Those controls for which name/value pairs are submitted are called
> successful controls"
>
> "17.13.2 Successful controls
> A successful control is "valid" for submission. Every successful control
has
> its control name paired with its current value as part of the submitted
form
> data set. A successful control must be defined within a FORM element and
> must have a control name.
