First I would like to say that this plugin is absolutely amazing excellent work Jörn!
Now on to my problem: Ive noticed that the validation plugin doesnt support radio buttons with name="data[FormItem][38]" specified. It will correctly validate the radio button group (for instance, if required=true if will display the error label indicating the field is required if a radio button was not clicked), however, it will not submit the form once a valid option is chosen. If I change the name to not use the [] array format then the submitHandler will fire correctly. Unfortunately this is not an option for me as the [] array format is used for all CakePHP form elements. The validation plugin handles all other form elements with this format correctly. I have added a short test case below. Clicking submit will correctly display the error label if an item is not chosen. Clicking a radio button and submitting the form again will not fire the submitHandler. If you change the radio group name to test then everything works as expected.
