[thelist] opposite of checked="checked"

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

	With client scripting, it's quite possible if you give them a
button or link that triggers this code:

var buttonSet = document.forms[0].buttonName;

for(var i=0;i<buttonSet.length;i++) {
  buttonSet[i].checked = false;
  }

Actually, as radio buttons are mutually exclusive, there really isn't
such a thing as a group that doesn't have one checked.  I know that HTML
and most browsers allow you to define a group without one of them
checked, but therein lies the rub.  What if the user decides they want
to return the group back to its default state without resetting the
form?  Unfortunately for them, it's not possible.  However, starting out
with one always checked removes this issue.
