Clientcide has a getValue method that is a mess. When 1.2 deprecated this
functionality I went to recreate it and make it better so that you could use
it on radio buttons, for example. But radio buttons are a bizarre thing. If
I do myRadioElement2.getValue() but a different radio than the element I
just called the method is the selected one, what do you return? The
value property
of myRadioElement2 ? Or the value of the other radio button that is
selected?

See what I mean?
