What is the difference between radio buttons and checkboxes?
Checkboxes and radio buttons are elements for making selections. Checkboxes allow the user to choose items from a fixed number of alternatives, while radio buttons allow the user to choose exactly one item from a list of several predefined alternatives.
Which is better radio buttons or checkboxes?
When should you use radio buttons or checkboxes? This relies entirely on what question you are asking. If you want your users to select multiple options, use checkboxes. If you want your users to select only one option, use radio buttons (or another alternative).
Why would you choose a radio button instead of a checkbox?
For example, you should use radio buttons when you want the user to be able to select only one option from the available choices. In contrast, if you're giving multiple selection choices to your users, you should use the checkboxes field.
Can radio buttons and check boxes ever be used for the same situation?
Radio buttons and checkboxes have a similar function and are used in the same context, but there's nothing uniform about their appearance. Radio buttons represent mutually exclusive selections, while checkboxes represent mutually inclusive ones. Both are commonly used together on forms to select options from a list.
