Radio Button
The Radio Button element forces the user to make one choice from a set of options. For example, you might ask whether they prefer to receive correspondence in English, French, or Spanish. Only one answer is possible. In contrast, a Checkbox allows them to choose more than one option. For example, whichof these do they already have: house, apartment, automobile, pet, or travel insurance.
The properties of Radio Buttons and Checkboxes are similar. Learn about other properties in the Introduction to Validation and Working with Form Elements.
