Create a Set of Radio Buttons
You can use radio buttons for questions where you want the user to only give you one answer out of multiple options.
Radio buttons are a type of input
.
Each of your radio buttons can be nested within its own label
element. By wrapping an input
element inside of a label
element it will automatically associate the radio button input with the label element surrounding it.
All related radio buttons should have the same name
attribute to create a radio button group. By creating a radio group, selecting any single radio button will automatically deselect the other buttons within the same group ensuring only one answer is provided by the user.
Here's an example of a radio button:
<label>
<input type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor">Indoor
</label>
It is considered best practice to set a for
attribute on the label
element, with a value that matches the value of the id
attribute of the input
element. This allows assistive technologies to create a linked relationship between the label and the related input
element. For example:
<input id="indoor" type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor">
<label for="indoor">Indoor</label>
We can also nest the input
element within the label
tags:
<label for="indoor">
<input id="indoor" type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor">Indoor
</label>
Add a pair of radio buttons to your form, each nested in its own label
element. One should have the option of indoor
and the other should have the option of outdoor
. Both should share the name
attribute of indoor-outdoor
to create a radio group.
