Created attachment 51536 [details] movie of error The following code allows Safari to select both radio buttons (when it should only be allowed to select one. Non-webkit browsers (notably Firefox) handle this code with the expected behavior: <html> <body> <form> <input type="radio" name="" value="male" /> Male <br /> <input type="radio" name="" value="female" /> Female </form> </body> </html>

Confirmed as a difference with Firefox. We should also check what IE does, and what HTML5 says.

HTML5 says > They both have a name attribute, their name attributes are not empty, and the value of a's name attribute is a compatibility caseless match for the value of b's name attribute. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#radio-button-state-(type=radio) IE also doesn't make a group for empty name. We have no reason to change the current behavior.
