Add Radio Buttons

A

set of mutually exclusive options can be added to your page through radio buttons. In code,

radio buttons and check boxes are almost identical: Both use the <input> tag, and both

require name and value attributes. As with check boxes, a set of radio buttons need to all have

the same name. The only difference is that the type value is now set to radio. Also, users can

select as many check boxes as they want, but they can select only a single radio button within a

group. As soon as a second button is chosen, the prior one deselects.
