Web Design in a Nutshell

Name

<input type=radio> — NN: 2, 3, 4 - MSIE: 2, 3, 4, 5 - HTML 4 - WebTV - Opera3

Synopsis

                     <input type=radio>
                  

Creates a radio button that can be turned on and off. When a group of radio buttons share the same control name, only one button within the group can be “on” at one time and all the others will be turned “off.” This makes them different from checkboxes, which allow multiple choices to be selected within a group.
