Working with Checkboxes, Radio Buttons, and Dropdowns
What's the significance of the name attribute in radio button groups?
The name attribute serves multiple critical purposes for radio buttons: 1) Groups radio buttons for mutual exclusivity - only one radio button with the same name can be selected, 2) Defines how the data will be submitted in form data - the selected radio's value is submitted under this name, 3) Enables proper keyboard navigation within the group using arrow keys, 4) Essential for accessibility - screen readers use it to announce related options. This makes it crucial for both functionality and accessibility.
