Radio

A radio button is a form element that lets you select one item from the list and send your selection to the server when you are submitting the form. Radio buttons are usually used in groups and they differ from another form element, the checkbox, in that only one item can be selected at a time.

To insert a radio button into a document in CKEditor, place the cursor inside the form element and press the Radio Button toolbar button. The Radio Button Properties dialog window that will open lets you set the name and value of a radio button as well as decide whether it should be selected by default.

Below is an overview of all Radio Button Properties dialog window elements:

• Name – the name of the radio button element (name attribute).
• Value – the value of the radio button element (value attribute).
• Selected – the parameter that specifies the default state of the radio button — whether it is selected or not (checked attribute).

Once you configure the radio button and click the OK button, the radio button will be visible in CKEditor editing area and you will be able to add some text that describes the radio button option.
