Ok I'll give it a whirl, but as I read it it doesn't appear to handle the logic with radio and checkboxes.

Given...

<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Sausage">
<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Pepperoni">
<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Ham">



Wouldn't your code leave it looking like...

<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Sausage">
<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Sausage">
<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Sausage">



What I would want it to do is leave it looking like...

<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Sausage" checked="true">
<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Pepperoni">
<input type="radio" name="pizze" value="Ham">



Thanks,

Terry

-------------------------------
I see, I think. Again the code is untested. 

//find all inputs which have the name of pizze and the value of Sausage
$$('input[name="pizze"][value="Sausage"]').each(function(el){
	//and write the "checked" attribute on each one
	el.writeAttribute('checked','checked');	
});

Read the docs and try some of this out for yourself. There are loads of examples out there. Here's one
