Hi, Using the same name attribute you are making a set of inputs when the input type is radio or checkbox So if you make three radio inputs with the same name, you will be able to choose only one Hope it helps you

The value is the value of the input haha, The result of submitting is: "Name"=Value If you make a text type input, with name="username", if you put a value as attribute, then the input will have a predefined value, but the user can change it because value is the user input, the result should be Name of input User input username = Value
