The option you want is "checked", which sets the radio button to, well,
checked.

Three radio buttons, the second of which should be selected by default.

< input type="radio" name="first" value="a">
< input type="radio" checked 
name="first" value="b">
< input type="radio" name="first" value="c">

I tested this on NN 4.76 & 6, and IE 5, all for Macintosh. In all of
them, _none_ of the radio buttons defaulted to selected (checked)
unless I included the "checked" attribute in the HTML.

Oh, yeah, you can see my test at

site). Thanks, I hadn't played with radio buttons much recently.


If this doesn't answer your question, please post a url or your HTML.
