The name, "planets," identifies what question was being asked and the export value, "saturn," indicates what the user answered for that particular question. The information the form developer receives will look like this: name: value. When a user submits the form, the export value of the radio button will be matched with the name of the radio button. For example, if the user selects "Saturn," the radio button might have the export value "saturn." The export value is the data that will be submitted, representing the option the user selected in response to the question. The value of a radio button is not visible to the user (as with text boxes). For example, a group of radio buttons that are all choices to the same question about planets may have the name "planets." The name for the form field indicates what type of information you are prompting the user for or identifies what question you are asking the user. To limit the user to select only one choice, all radio buttons in the group must have the same name. Each question has a group of radio buttons to represent the preset choices. When radio buttons are used in online forms, they allow you to create questions with multiple, predetermined choices. Radio buttons are used when only one response or option out of a set of answers is supposed to be selected in response to a question. This article is based on legacy software.
