you can only select one of them

Answer 1

If you want a CSS Only solution, this is an excellent one :
.labl {
display : block;
width: 400px;
}
.labl > input{ /* HIDE RADIO */
visibility: hidden; /* Makes input not-clickable */
position: absolute; /* Remove input from document flow */
}
.labl > input + div{ /* DIV STYLES */
cursor:pointer;
border:2px solid transparent;
}
.labl > input:checked + div{ /* (RADIO CHECKED) DIV STYLES */
background-color: #ffd6bb;
border: 1px solid #ff6600;
}
<label class="labl">
<input type="radio" name="radioname" value="one_value" checked="checked"/>
<div>Small</div>
</label>
<label class="labl">
<input type="radio" name="radioname" value="another" />
<div>Small</div>
</label>

Yes, you can use 'div' as radio button and will work as radio button groups. But for this you'll need Javascript. I've created a script for that using JQuery. Here is the source--
$('.radio-group .radio').click(function(){
$(this).parent().find('.radio').removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
var val = $(this).attr('data-value');
//alert(val);
$(this).parent().find('input').val(val);
});
.radio-group{
position: relative;
}
.radio{
display:inline-block;
width:15px;
height: 15px;
border-radius: 100%;
background-color:lightblue;
border: 2px solid lightblue;
cursor:pointer;
margin: 2px 0;
}
.radio.selected{
border-color: blue;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h2>Select an option (You will get it's value displayed in the text input field!)</h2>
<form method="post" action="send.php">
<div class="radio-group">
<div class='radio' data-value="One"></div>1
<div class='radio' data-value="Two"></div>2
<div class='radio' data-value="Three"></div>3
<br/>
<input type="text" id="radio-value" name="radio-value" />
</div>
</form>

Answer 3

This is a simple solution.
HTML
<div class="option first">1</div>
<div class="option second">2</div>
<div class="option third">3</div>
<div class="option fourth">4</div>
CSS
.option
{
background-color:red;
margin: 10px auto;
}
.option.active
{
border:1px solid blue;
}
Jquery
$(document).ready(
function()
{
$(".option").click(
function(event)
{
$(this).addClass("active").siblings().removeClass("active");
}
);
});
