Can a checkbox behave like a radio button?
As you can see, only one checkbox can be selected at a time; the checkboxes are behaving like radio buttons! This solution allows you to leave both boxes unchecked, or check only one.
In which situation should you use a radio button or checkbox?

Which is better radio buttons or checkboxes?
