Employee Handbook Replace Radio Button For Free

Radio buttons are often included in forms when the user must choose between a number of options that are presented together as a group. With radio buttons, only one button in a radio buttons list can be selected at a time, so users are forced to select just one option from among several.

Checkboxes and Radio Buttons are very similar. They both display a list of options which a user can select from. Checkbox fields allow the user to select one or more options and boxes can be checked and unchecked. Radio Buttons fields will allow only one option to be selected.

Single checkboxes or basic radio buttons that make sense from their labels alone do not require fieldset and legend. Nested fieldsets can cause odd screen reader behavior and should be avoided.

TL;DR: Set the required attribute for at least one input of the radio group. Setting required for all inputs is more clear, but not necessary (unless dynamically generating radio-buttons). To group radio buttons they must all have the same name value.

In traditional application design, the first radio button in the list was always selected by default. But the unbridled world of website design challenged this practice, making it fairly common to have no radio button selected by default.

Different types of form elements include text input, radio button input, submit button, etc. Let's learn how to use radio buttons in HTML forms to get user input. Radio buttons are used when out of many options; just one option is required to be selected.

The alternatives to radio buttons are checkboxes and drop down boxes.
