I have a HTML form with radio buttons and are able to select multiple but why? I can't help myself.
This is my HTML:
<input type="radio" name="nameA" id="nameA" value="nameA">
<label for="nameA">Choice A</label>
<input type="radio" name="nameB" id="nameB" value="nameB">
<label for="nameB">Choice B</label>
For anyone finding this question: Solution is to give them the same NAME
<input type="radio" name="sameName" id="nameA" value="nameA">
<label for="nameA">Choice A</label>
<input type="radio" name="sameName" id="nameB" value="nameB">
<label for="nameB">Choice B</label>
Only one radio button in a group can be checked. You have two radio buttons with different names. This means that you have two radio groups, each containing one radio button. You need to put them in the same group (by making them share a name) if you only want one of them to be selected.
Radio buttons are normally presented in radio groups (a collection of radio buttons describing a set of related options). Only one radio button in a group can be selected at the same time. Note: The radio group must have share the same name (the value of the name attribute) to be treated as a group.
To create each radio button option, create a RadioButton in your layout. However, because radio buttons are mutually exclusive, you must group them together inside a RadioGroup . By grouping them together, the system ensures that only one radio button can be selected at a time.
Check boxes allow multiple selections at a time and radio buttons allow only a single selection at a time, but both use the <input> tag to create each box or button.
Classics like that you should use radio buttons (single select) or checkboxes (multiple select) if you’re showing five or fewer options, and the different options when the number of options grows from there. One thing that isn’t talked about is how you implement these things.
Radio buttons are normally presented in radio groups. Only one radio button in a group can be selected at the same time. The radio group must share the same name (the value of the name attribute) to be treated as a group. Selecting any radio button in that group automatically deselects any other selected radio button in the same group. Good...

Each radio button has a name and a value. If they are in the same FORM and have the same name they are connected. Pressing one will clear all others with the same name and the value for that button will be what the form reports to the server. How do I change the size of radio buttons?
All radio buttons that share the same name and are controls in the same form are part of a group.
Only one radio button in a group can be checked.

You need to put them in the same group (by making them share a name) if you only want one of them to be selected.
(They should still have unique ids (so you can give each one a label) and values (which is how you determine which one was checked when the form is submitted to the server)).

<label for="nameA">Choice A</label>
<input type="radio" name="name" id="nameB" value="nameB">
