How can I identify which radio button is accepted?
How do I prevent a user being able to select multiple options when I use radio buttons?
<input type='radio' name='one'>option1<br />
<input type='radio' name='two'>option2<br />
<input type='radio' name='three'>option3<br />
<input type='radio' name='four'>option4<br />
<input type='radio' name='five'>option5<br />
Thats the code I use, thanks for reading.
You need to use the "name" attribute to tie them all together, use the value attribute to give them different values.
<input type="radio" name="number" value="one" /> One<br />
<input type="radio" name="number" value="two" /> Two<br />
<input type="radio" name="number" value="three" /> Three<br />
Think of name as last name... For example, if you had Bart, Lisa, Homer, Marge and Maggie, the name would be their last name: Simpson, the value would be the said names:
<input type="radio" name="Simpson" value="Bart" /> Bart<br />
<input type="radio" name="Simpson" value="Lisa" /> Lisa<br />
<input type="radio" name="Simpson" value="Marge" /> Marge<br />
<input type="radio" name="Simpson" value="Homer" /> Homer<br />
<input type="radio" name="Simpson" value="Maggie" /> Maggie<br />
you should give them the same name
Also the order of name/value pair matter's I guess.Name should appear before the order
I know! Do like this:
<label><input type="radio" name="a">1</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="a">2</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="a">3</label>
Give everything same value for 'name' attribute. You add the name for the radio buttons

My code:
Radio text input type not working properly
All radio buttons are selected.
<input type="radio" name="cash" id="cash" value="CASH"/>CASH<br />
<input type="radio" name="card" id="card" value="CARD"/>CARD<br />
<input type="radio" name="netbank" id="netbank" value="NETBANKING"/>NETBANKING<br />
<input type="radio" name="paypal" id="paypal" value="PAYPAL"/>PAYPAL<br />
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/hw7u83vm/
Radios with the same name are treated as a group. When you select one button, all other buttons in the same group are unselected.
Use
<input type="radio" name="type" id="cash" value="CASH"/>CASH<br />
<input type="radio" name="type" id="card" value="CARD"/>CARD<br />
<input type="radio" name="type" id="netbank" value="NETBANKING"/>NETBANKING<br />
<input type="radio" name="type" id="paypal" value="PAYPAL"/>PAYPAL<br />
<input type="radio" name="Payment" id="cash" value="CASH"/>CASH<br />
<input type="radio" name="Payment" id="card" value="CARD"/>CARD<br />
<input type="radio" name="Payment" id="netbank" value="NETBANKING"/>NETBANKING<br />
<input type="radio" name="Payment" id="paypal" value="PAYPAL"/>PAYPAL<br />
Use this, i have changed the Name to "Payment".
Name should be same
For radio button working properly, You must have name property common for all radio buttons
<input type="radio" name="payment" id="cash" value="CASH"/>CASH<br />
<input type="radio" name="payment" id="card" value="CARD"/>CARD<br />
<input type="radio" name="payment" id="netbank" value="NETBANKING"/>NETBANKING<br />
<input type="radio" name="payment" id="paypal" value="PAYPAL"/>PAYPAL<br />

If you want to allow the user to be able to select more than 1 box, use the input type checkbox, but the name attribute must be the same.
<input type="radio" name="cash" id="cash" value="CASH"/>CASH<br />
<input type="radio" name="cash" id="card" value="CARD"/>CARD<br />
<input type="radio" name="cash" id="netbank" value="NETBANKING"/>NETBANKING<br />
<input type="radio" name="cash" id="paypal" value="PAYPAL"/>PAYPAL<br />
If you want the user to select only one box, use the input type radio, but the name attribute must be the same to make it work properly
CASH
CARD
NETBANKING
PAYPAL
This is the code i use for my form and I'm using radio button as i know only one can be ticked but for some reason I can click on multiple. How do I fix this?
<form name="Question1" method="post" onsubmit="return CheckAnswer1()">
<input type="radio"
name="Q1opt1"
value="1" >Having loads of pictures on the website<br /><br />
<input type="radio"
name="Q1opt2"
value="2" >Making the website nice and pretty.<br /><br />
<input type="radio"
name="Q1opt3"
value="3" >Making the website most user friendly.<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Select Your Answer and Click Here" />
</form>
They should have the same name but different values, that's how the browser distinguishes between sets of radio button groups:
<form name="Question1" method="post" onsubmit="return CheckAnswer1()">
<input type="radio"
name="Q1opt"
value="1" >Having loads of pictures on the website<br /><br />
<input type="radio"
name="Q1opt"
value="2" >Making the website nice and pretty.<br /><br />
<input type="radio"
name="Q1opt"
value="3" >Making the website most user friendly.<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Select Your Answer and Click Here" />
</form>
It's because their names are all the same.
Try this:
<input type='radio' name='Qstn1' Id='q1Opt1' value='1' />Opt 1<br />
<input type='radio' name='Qstn1' Id='q1Opt2' value='2' />Opt 2<br />
<input type='radio' name='Qstn1' Id='q1Opt3' value='3' />Opt 3<br />
I have this code and cannot get it to select the radio when I click on it's image.
I'm I missing something?
Here is the current code:
<label style="display: inline; " for="test1">
<img src="images/image1.jpg" />
<input checked="checked" class="select_control" id="select1" name="test1" type="radio" value="value1" />
</label>
<label style="display: inline; " for="test2">
<img src="images/image2.jpg" />
<input checked="checked" class="select_control" id="select2" name="test2" type="radio" value="value2" />
</label>
The for attribute in label should match input's id and not name. name is used for grouping radio buttons and checkboxes (when it's the same name their are in a group, so checking one will will uncheck the other).
<label for="test1">
<img src="image1.jpg" />
<input id="test1" name="test" type="radio" value="value1" />
</label>
<label for="test2">
<img src="image2.jpg" />
<input id="test2" name="test" type="radio" value="value2" />
</label>
Here's a working example of your code: http://jsfiddle.net/nXb5a/
the for attribute of the label should reference the id of the input it is for not the name
see:
http://jsfiddle.net/EtvLu/
the for attribute should be the id of the element it is referring to, and both radio buttons should have the same name (assuming you want them as one group):
<label style="display: inline; " for="select1">
<img src="images/image1.jpg" />
<input checked="checked" class="select_control" id="select1" name="test1" type="radio" value="value1" />
</label>
<label style="display: inline; " for="select2">
<img src="images/image2.jpg" />
<input checked="checked" class="select_control" id="select2" name="test1" type="radio" value="value2" />
</label>
From what I have gathered, in order to make a label of a radio button clickable, you must assign the same "name" attribute value to both elements.
The problem I am having is when you have more than one radio button, say a "yes or no" type selection. In order to make it to where if you click one, the other disables is that both radio buttons "name" attribute has to be the same value.
Is it possible to do both?
<label for="no">No</label>
<input type="radio" name="no" value="no" />
<label for="yes">Yes</label>
<input type="radio" name="yes" value="yes" />
id (not name) attribute should be referred by label's for attribute. It should be like this: http://jsfiddle.net/zzsSw/
<label for="no">No</label>
<input type="radio" name="mygroup" id="no" value="no" />
<label for="yes">Yes</label>
<input type="radio" name="mygroup" id="yes" value="yes" />
You can also write labels without IDs:
<label>
<input type="radio" name="mygroup" />
My clickable caption
</label>
or checkbox
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="mygroup[]" />
My clickable caption
</label>
It seems simple, but this has been a bit of a headscratcher for me. Given the following (valid xhtml transitional) code:
<form action="weird.html">
<label for="test1">T1</label>
<input type="radio" id="test1" name="test" value="1" />
<label for="test2">T2</label>
<input type="radio" id="test2" name="test" value="2" />
<label for="test3">T3</label>
<input type="radio" id="test3" name="test" value="3" />
<label for="test4">T4</label>
<input type="radio" id="test4" name="test" value="4" />
<label for="test5">T5</label>
<input type="radio" id="test5" name="test" value="5" />
</form>
Why is it that I can't tab between radio buttons? This issue seems to be because they all have the same name attribute, but that seems rather counter-intuitive to me as far as accesbility goes. Why does the focus state only get applied to one? Is this because the group is treated as a single element? Are access keys the only non-Javascript solution here?
You actually use the arrow keys to move within the radio buttons because as you said, they are treated as a single element. This is normal behavior.
As James and Tatu said that is normal, I don't know if you have used "TABINDEX", it might work.
<input type="radio" id="test5" name="test" value="5" tabindex="5" />
But as they are treated as single element it might not work.
Yes, each radio button group is treated as one form element - if you want to skip between the group elements then use the arrow keys. It does make sense; if you're tabbing through a long form with a group of 10 radio buttons halfway down, you'd get annoyed if you had to tab through all 10 radio options before moving to the next form item.
If they're not in the same group, then you can tab between them. In the example below, T5 will gain separate tab focus to the rest:
<form action="weird.html">
<label for="test1">T1</label>
<input type="radio" id="test1" name="test" value="1" />
<label for="test2">T2</label>
<input type="radio" id="test2" name="test" value="2" />
<label for="test3">T3</label>
<input type="radio" id="test3" name="test" value="3" />
<label for="test4">T4</label>
<input type="radio" id="test4" name="test" value="4" />
<label for="test5">T5</label>
<input type="radio" id="test5" name="test2" value="5" />
</form>
