title: start a group of radiobuttons unchecked in asp.net mvc
body: <p>Hólla everybody,</p>
  
  <p>I have a strongly typed view and for one <code>int Rating</code> property, I am generating few radio buttons like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.RadioButtonFor(m =&gt; m.Rating, 1, new { id = "past_Rating_one"})
  @Html.RadioButtonFor(m =&gt; m.Rating, 2, new { id = "past_Rating_two"})
  @Html.RadioButtonFor(m =&gt; m.Rating, 3, new { id = "past_Rating_three"})
  @Html.RadioButtonFor(m =&gt; m.Rating, 4, new { id = "past_Rating_four"})
  @Html.RadioButtonFor(m =&gt; m.Rating, 5, new { id = "past_Rating_five"})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>of course, I be having labels after each radio button and jquery be fancying it with images and such wonders.</p>
  
  <p>All this is fine, but when the page starts, the radio button with id <code>past_Rating_one</code> be selected already. I be bewildered as to how to start all radio buttons unchecked when page loads.</p>
  
  <p>Sure, can do with jQuery but I want to do it just with the view.</p>
  
  <p>I tried it with this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.RadioButtonFor(m =&gt; m.Rating, 1, new { id = "past_Rating_one", selected="none"})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>firebug inspection shows that as a property, but still that darn radio button (first one) be stubbornly checked, so I thought I would seek yer help.</p>
