Hrm, might be getting somewhere with this. I'm not concered with screen
readers or even standards for that matter-- this is an internal app for
about 5 people, all who can see/hear :)
So now, if i have this hidden radio button that is marked to be checked
by default: <input type="radio" class="offscreenposition"
checked="checked" name="A" value="foo" />
and its visual counter part,
<input type="radio" name="A" value="bar" />
If I select radio button "bar", submit the page, and then hit the back
button, "bar" is still active, not the off-screen "foo".
And this puts me right back where I started from...
Appreciate the idea though. might be a part of the answer.
