When the user agent submits the form the server received **only** the
selected/checked input field values.

For instance, for the form:
...
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="radio1" id="g1_r1"  />
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="radio2" id="g1_r2"  />
...
<input type="radio" name="group2" value="radio1" id="g2_r1"  />
<input type="radio" name="group2" value="radio2" id="g2_r2"  />
...

if g1_r2 radiobutton is checked the Request.Form collection will not have
g1_r1
similarly if g2_r2 is checked, the Request.Form collection will not have
g2_r1

thus in the above scenario,
Request.Form["group1"] will return "radio1" and
Request.Form["group2"] will (again) return "radio1" (the syntax is C#
ASP.net, but it's quite similar in classic ASP)

Which means that the second options (radio2) in each radio button group is
not checked.

...

In short anything you did not receive in the Request collection, and hence
you cannot iterate, is unchecked.


Hope that makes sense,
