Radio switch
A radio button is an HTML form element in the form of a round button that can be checked or unchecked.
The radio button is created using the tag input
with the attribute type
in the value radio
. Appearance:
A single radio switch is almost never used, they should be used in a group. However, only one radio switch in a group can be checked. The switches will form a group only if they have the same attribute value name
(see examples below).
Example
Let's make two radio switches: the first one is checked (we'll set the attribute checked
), and the second one is not. In this case, the switches will be a group in which only one of them can be checked (since they have the same attribute value name
).
Note that these radio buttons are given different values for the attribute value
. This is necessary so that after sending the data to the server, PHP can determine which of the radio buttons was selected:
<input type="radio" name="test" checked value="1">
<input type="radio" name="test" value="2">
:
Example
Now let's make two groups of radio switches: the first group will have one attribute value name
, and the second - another. Let's try clicking on them, and we'll see that the groups switch independently of each other:
<input type="radio" name="radio1" checked>
<input type="radio" name="radio1">
<input type="radio" name="radio1">
<br>
<input type="radio" name="radio2" checked>
<input type="radio" name="radio2">
<input type="radio" name="radio2">
