What is the radio button?

Hello,

 

If anyone wants to get information from visitors about specific information then he can use radio buttons. A radio button is perfect where you have to choose one specific option. Here is example how to write.

 

<h2>Gender:</h2>

<input type="radio" value="female" name="gender" />Female<br />

<input type="radio" value="male" name="gender" />Male<br />

<input type="radio" value="undisclosed" name="gender"/>Prefer not to say

 

Thanks.

What is the radio button?

Radio buttons are used in various programming languages such as HTML, JAVA, PHP and lots more.

These are basically used to provide options to the user and to choose one option from the given possible options.

For example:

If a form asks about your Gender ?

It can show you two radio buttons indicating Male as first option Female as second option. Now You can only choose one option from the above two. Well I think this gives you the clarification over radio buttons.

What is the radio button?

Above comments have well explained you what is radio button and where does is used. I’ll tell you about the Radio button control used in ASP.NET web development.

When you are using Visual studio IDE for ASP.NET development you can see two types of radio buttons in the tool kit. One is Radio button and the other control is Radio button List. If you use radio button in your web form it functions individually without considering the other radio button selection. In this case you can have multiple radio button selections at the same time but if you use radio button list you can have only one selection at a time. So you can use the web control you need according to the situation.
