ColdFusion and Dreamweaver radio buttons!!

**the_sio_monster** · 02-24-2008 10:41 PM

My ColdFusion and Dreamweaver radio buttons allow me to mark each one of them instead of just one. Why? I have to create ColdFusion radio buttons using Dreamweaver as my text editor. When I make the radio buttons using ColdFusion code, I can test the page and check all the radio buttons as if they were checkboxes. I thought it might just be ColdFusion so I use regular HTMl to create them and it does the same. Is there an option I am missing that tells the radio buttons to only allow one button to be selected? Or is it something else? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Radio buttons are commonly used for selecting one of a group of choices.

<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male"> Male
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female"> Female

Only one option can be selected when the 'name' property is same.

If the 'name' property is different then you could select both.

<input type="radio" name="sex1" value="male"> Male
<input type="radio" name="sex2" value="female"> Female
