Radio
An element that can be turned on and off. Radio buttons are almost always grouped together in groups. Only one radio button within the same group may be turned on at a time. The user can switch which radio button is turned on by selecting it with the mouse or keyboard. Other radio buttons in the same group are turned off. A label, specified with the label attribute may be added beside the radio button to indicate to the user as to its function.
