Radio Button – Am I Doing Something Wrong? Help!

[iamshad]

Hello Forum,

So… I’m having a problem with simple radio buttons (no jQuery or Javascript). I was learning on how to create radio buttons for a contact form and I basically followed what I saw. But for some reason, my radio buttons are grouping like they’re check boxes. Is there a reason why this is happening? Is the approach I’m taking at this correct or incorrect?

I’ve loaded the code here: http://jsfiddle.net/iamshad/Am9Zw/

Thanks in advance for the help,

Shad

If you mean that selecting one checkbox doesn’t deselect the other, that’s because you gave them all a different name. If you want to “group” them, give them all the same name (and obviously each a different value).

Additionally, you have everything (inputs and text labels) wrapped within a label; not really sematically correct. I would suggest to go with this structure:

Yes









No









Maybe

Hey @seniff I had a feeling I was doing something wrong. But what you explained did fix the problem. I should’ve known this… I’m going to try what you mentioned above for a better semantic approach.

Thanks for your help!
