1) I used the names getValue/setValue mainly because the code is derived
from alike methods in qForms. Would it make more sense to use a single
method--like fieldValue() (although I'm not sure I like that name?)
I like the idea of a single name for both get/set because it fits well

I've toyed around w/using an array instead (I actually build an array, but
return a string.) I may toy around w/making it a setting--whether to return
arrays or strings.
I'd say either make it an option (along with what the join char is) or
just impl two method, one would call the other and th

At the moment (and you can test this yourself) it would be a comma delimited
string. This is the one issue I'd knew I heard feedback on. As I stated in
another message, there's advantages/disadvantages to both.

Honestly Dan, I think this is the way that jQuery SHOULD work. If I call for
the val() of a form control, I shouldn't have to worry about whether it's a
radio button, or a text field. Obviously I can get the value of a specific
radio button, but just give me what's CURRENTLY selected.
