Empty values of radio buttons and checkboxes are "on"

When a radio button or a checkbox has a value="" (empty), Opera nonetheless reports a value="on".

This bug is fixed in Opera 9 preview 1 btw.

I assume that what you mean by "Opera reports value='on'" is when you look at node.value in JavaScript you get "on" instead of "" (but you still get "" passed when you submit the form). That is what I'm seeing with Opera 8.5. You can work around this by using node.getAttribute('value') instead of node.value.
