I have a javascript to demonstrate random quiz stuff. The script writes a form (doesn't post anywhere) with a set of questions, choices, and the correct answers shown in blue in CSS. The questions and choices are randomly shuffled, but the answers should always be correct.
When I refresh the page, the bug shows up only when another set of radio buttons is rendered where the previously selected radio button is, exactly at the x,y coordinate of the previous state. I can't disable the selection of the radio by looping through the form elements in javascript. I can't add a meta tag to do "no-cache": no effect. Also no effect if I form.reset() with body onLoad. I can't get rid of the cached state.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the script into your browser.
2. Select a radio button. Its state is "checked".
3. Refresh the page a few times and notice other radio buttons at that position on the page. Whatever radio button that's there will also be checked.
Expected Results:
Expected Results: form should be clear, as intended by developer or whatever is written. I have not tested this in straight HTML. Note that the form is produced with Javascript document.writeln().
Cut and paste the below into a file and load it in FF.

Load attachment into FF. Check a radio button and note the position on the page of the checked button. Keep refreshing the page until another group of radio buttons show up in that area. The radio button will be checked even though the form state specifies (even tried explicitly) for it not to be checked.
I think you need to save the test code as *.html and try it separately. You won't see the bug when it's rendered server-side by a CGI script. Try it separately to confirm bug exists.
