<input type="radio" name="allotdeallot" value="Allotment" />Allotment
<input type="radio" name="allotdeallot" value="De-Allotment" />De-Allotment
I have two radio buttons which I want to check or uncheck on label click.
Use the <label> tag and add the id attribute to the radio button:
<input type="radio" name="allotdeallot" id="allotment" value="Allotment" /><label for="allotment">Allotment</label>
<input type="radio" name="allotdeallot" id="deallotment" value="De-Allotment" /><label for="deallotment">De-Allotment</label>
More information
As per HTML standards, every form element must have label attach to it. You wish to hide the text of label, you can hide the text of the lable, by using position:absolute to the label. So here is your answer,
<input id="allotment" type="radio" name="allotdeallot" value="Allotment" /><label for="allotment">Allotment</label>
<input id="de-allotment" type="radio" name="allotdeallot" value="De-Allotment" /><label for="de-allotment">De-Allotment</label>
The id of the input field must be same with for attribute of the label.

In the form below, when I click the first radio button then I click the second radio button, both remain checked. The behaviour I want is for when I click on radio button, the other radio button gets unchecked automatically. I am using React.js with styled components.
<form>
<input type="radio"/>
<input type="radio"/>
</form>
Give the same name to all the radio buttons (but different values).
<form>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="1"/> 1st
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="2"/> 2nd
</form>
You have give each radio button a name property with the same value like "group1". Like so:
<form>
<input type="radio" name="group1"/>
<input type="radio" name="group1"/>
</form>
If i'm using radio buttons in HTML and would like a default option to show as selected, I've used the 'checked' attribute to achieves this. How do I make it so when I check on another option on the radio buttons this default option is removed. In the code below, when you check another option, the original option remains and you can't uncheck anything?
In the option below the fish option is the one with the 'checked' attribute added.

HTML
<input type="radio" id="dog"name="dog"value="dog"><label for="dog">Dog</label>
<input type="radio" id="cat" name="cat" value="cat"><label for="cat">Cat</label>
<input type="radio" id="fish" name="fish" value="fish" checked><label for="fish">Fish</label>
<input type="submit">
Your form radio elements need to have a shared name attribute as they
are the options for one choice. change name to "foo" or "animal" and
it will work.
<div style="margin-bottom:15px;">All radio inputs require a shared name attribute, I declared it "choice"</div>
<form style="text-align:center">
<input type="radio" id="dog"name="choice"value="dog"><label for="dog">Dog</label>
<input type="radio" id="cat" name="choice" value="cat" ><label for="cat" >Cat</label>
<input type="radio" id="fish" name="choice" value="fish" checked="checked" ><label for="fish" >Fish</label>
<input type="submit">
</form>
In my web page I have placed some radio buttons. But these buttons are not working properly. I can check multiple buttons.
code:
<label for="abc" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">xyz</label>
<input type="radio" id="abc" name="abc" >
<label for="bcd" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">abc</label>
<input type="radio" id="bcd" name="bcd" >
<label for="efg" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">ccc</label>
<input type="radio" id="efg" name="efg" >

I want to check only one button. Please any one help me.
Because you've different value for name attribute, they should have a common name value, just like you group items.. for example
<input type="radio" name="group1" />
<input type="radio" name="group1" />
<input type="radio" name="group1" />
<!-- You can select any one from each group -->
<input type="radio" name="group2" />
<input type="radio" name="group2" />
<input type="radio" name="group2" />
Demo
<label for="abc" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">xyz</label>
<input type="radio" id="abc" name="abc" >
<label for="bcd" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">abc</label>
<input type="radio" id="bcd" name="abc" >
<label for="efg" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">ccc</label>
<input type="radio" id="efg" name="abc" >
All inputs must have the same name="" attribute value
Radio buttons which are grouped together must have the same case-sensitive name property.
<label for="input1">First Input</label>
<input type="radio" id="input1" name="inputGroup" >
<label for="input2">Second Input</label>
<input type="radio" id="input2" name="inputGroup" >
<label for="input3">Third Input</label>
<input type="radio" id="input3" name="inputGroup" >
JSFiddle demo.
From the HTML specification:
Radio buttons are like checkboxes except that when several share the same control name, they are mutually exclusive.
Give same name to all radio button from which you want to select one option
<label for="abc" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">xyz</label>
<input type="radio" id="abc" name="abc" >
<label for="bcd" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">abc</label>
<input type="radio" id="bcd" name="abc" >
<label for="efg" style="margin-top:-20px;margin-left:40px">ccc</label>
<input type="radio" id="efg" name="abc" >
Now it will work properly
Name attribute needs to be the same. Name groups radio buttons together to make them one unit.
Name them the same way, and in your php or receiving code it will be something like
$_POST['name'] = 'value of selected radio button'
The name setting tells which group of radio buttons the field belongs to. When you select one button, all other buttons in the same group are unselected.
If you couldn't define which group the current button belongs to, you could only have one group of radio buttons on each page.
e.g :
<input type="radio" name="fruit1" value="Apple"> Apple <br>
<input type="radio" name="fruit1" value="Apricot" checked> Apricot <br>
<input type="radio" name="fruit1" value="Avocado"> Avocado
<hr>
<input type="radio" name="fruit2" value="Banana"> Banana<br>
<input type="radio" name="fruit2" value="Breadfruit"> Breadfruit<br>
<input type="radio" name="fruit2" value="Bilberry" checked> Bilberry
Give the name the same attribute.
The checked attribute can be used to indicate which value should be selected. Somewhere in your syntax for the value you want checked write checked="checked"
I reached this thread searching the keywords "html radio not working". After reviewing my code, I noticed that I used a javascript method "event.preventDefault();" in this custom function that I've made where the HTML node that triggered this event in that custom function were the "not working" radio parent. So I solved my problem removing the "event.preventDefault();". If someone reached this thread in the future, I hope this help you somehow (even for debbuging purposes).
If I want to have a question with a "Yes/No" radio button. How do I need to mark up the code so that a screen reader reads the question associated with the "yes/no" selection instead of just reading the "Yes" and "No" labels when the radio buttons are selected?
<span>Did you understand this? (choose one) </span>
<label>
<input type="radio" id="yes_no" name="yes_no" value="Yes" />
Yes
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" id="yes_no" name="yes_no" value="No" />
No
</label>
Thanks
For form elements of this nature I use:
<fieldset>
<legend>Did you understand the question?</legend>
<input type="radio" name="yes_no" id="yes">
<label for="yes">Yes</label>
<input type="radio" name="yes_no" id="no">
<label for="no">No</label>
</fieldset>
Also please take note that all ID values on a page should be unique. If you have an element that needs to share a descriptor then add it as a class.
I also use Fieldsets to add a distinct boundary to the radio selection.
And be sure to specify the for="id_value" attribute of the label. This will associate the label with the desired radio button.
<fieldset>
<legend><span>Did you understand this? (choose one) </span></legend>
<label>
<input type="radio" id="yes_no" name="yes_no" value="Yes" />
Yes
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" id="yes_no" name="yes_no" value="No" />
No
</label>
</fieldset>
use the content attribute (if it is available).
When using the "label for" parameter on radio buttons, to be 508 compliant*, is the following correct?
<label for="button one"><input type="radio" name="group1" id="r1" value="1" /> button one</label>
or is this?
<input type="radio" name="group1" id="r1" value="1" /><label for="button one"> button one</label>
Reason I ask is that in the second example, "label" is only encompassing the text and not the actual radio button.
*Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires federal agencies to provide software and website accessibility to people with disabilities.
You almost got it. It should be this:
<input type="radio" name="group1" id="r1" value="1" />
<label for="r1"> button one</label>
The value in for should be the id of the element you are labeling.
Either structure is valid and accessible, but the for attribute should be equal to the id of the input element:
<input type="radio" ... id="r1" /><label for="r1">button text</label>
or
<label for="r1"><input type="radio" ... id="r1" />button text</label>
The for attribute is optional in the second version (label containing input), but IIRC there were some older browsers that didn't make the label text clickable unless you included it. The first version (label after input) is easier to style with CSS using the adjacent sibling selector +:
input[type="radio"]:checked+label {font-weight:bold;}
(Firstly read the other answers which has explained the for in the <label></label> tags.
Well, both the tops answers are correct, but for my challenge, it was when you have several radio boxes, you should select for them a common name like name="r1" but with different ids id="r1_1" ... id="r1_2"
So this way the answer is more clear and removes the conflicts between name and ids as well.
You need different ids for different options of the radio box.
<input type="radio" name="r1" id="r1_1" />
<label for="r1_1">button text one</label>
<br/>
<input type="radio" name="r1" id="r1_2" />
<label for="r1_2">button text two</label>
<br/>
<input type="radio" name="r1" id="r1_3" />
<label for="r1_3">button text three</label>
