Imagine you're offering the user a choice of having the product delivered by courier or by mail. Checkboxes won't work here since you have to choose only one option.

If you want to create a switch that can handle only one of several options, you can use radio buttons. They get their name from old car radios where you could press one of the many buttons to select the frequency.

To create a radio button, as well as a checkbox, we use two tags:

• <input> with type="radio". name is a required attribute, and its value is, naturally, a name. This name must be the same for the whole group of radio buttons. Without this attribute, it'll be possible to select all the values at once, because the browser will not see the connection between them
• <label> which will contain the text associated with the radio button we want

<input> is linked with <label> in one of two familiar scenarios:

• Link by id. To do this you must set a unique id for <input>, and link the <label> with the radio button using the attribute for

  <form>
    <input id="yes" type="radio" name="question">
    <label for="yes">Yes</label>
  
    <input id="no" type="radio" name="question">
    <label for="no">No</label>
  </form>

• Put <input> inside the <label> tag. This does not require a unique id

  <form>
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="question">
      Yes
    </label>
    <br>
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="question">
      No
    </label>
  </form>

The value attribute, which has a value that allows you to determine the radio button, is used to find out which item was selected after sending the form to the server.

<form>
  <label>
    <input type="radio" name="question" value="yes">
    Yes
  </label>
  <br>
  <label>
    <input type="radio" name="question" value="no">
    No
  </label>
</form>

Create a form with a data handler file at /people. Create two radio buttons inside the form. Link them by putting <input> inside <label>. Choose a unique name for the delivery radio buttons. Don't forget to add the value attribute
