Opera incorrectly reporting explicit empty values of radio buttons/checkboxes
When reading the value attribute of a radio button or a checkbox and that value attribute is explicitely set to an empty value in HTML, Opera (tested 8.5) returns on instead of the empty value.
If you in particular rely on that it returns an empty value because you expect that value serverside its getting problematic.
Testcases
In both cases, value is set to an empty value: value="".
No real workaround so far except browser sniffing/hacking.
