What is difference between radio and checkbox

Answer 1

Actually, with radio buttons, it's meant to choose between two options, like 'yes' or 'no', 'male' or 'female' etc.. Whereas checkboxes are used with multiple options.

Answer 2

@ZinC that isn't accurate.
with radio buttons you can only choose one option while checkboxes allow multiple choice.

So, for example, you could have a set of radio buttons for "education" labeled "didn't finish highschool", "finished highschool", "academic degree", "advanced degree", because it is clear that you shouldn't pick more than 1.

a set of checkboxes for "sexual preferences" could include 2 options (i.e. "male" and "female"), but still let you choose both (or none, if you want).

The main point is that radio buttons act like buttons on old radios/cassette players - once you press one of them, the previously pressed choice pops back out, so that at all times there is only one option selected.

Answer 3

Using radio user can select only one option in html but using checkbox user got chance to select multiple option.
