Working with Checkboxes, Radio Buttons, and Dropdowns
What's the key difference between radio buttons and checkboxes in terms of selection behavior?
Radio buttons in a group (sharing the same 'name' attribute) are mutually exclusive - only one can be selected at a time. When a radio button is selected, any other selected radio button in the same group is automatically deselected. This behavior is handled by the browser and doesn't require JavaScript. Unlike checkboxes, users cannot deselect a radio button by clicking it again - they must select a different option. This makes radio buttons ideal for mutually exclusive choices.
