Hello readers, Today in this blog you’ll learn how to create the Custom Radio Buttons using only HTML & CSS. Earlier I’ve shared a blog on how to create the Custom Checkbox or Toggle On/Off Switch using only HTML & CSS and now it’s time to create a radio button.
A radio button or option button is one type of selection indicator or button that allows the user to choose only one option in a form list. In the radio button, if an option is selected, the circle is filled to inform the user, that option is selected.
In this program [Custom Radio Buttons], there are two options on the webpage labeled as Student and Teacher. The student option is selected by default and when you select the second option, the background color of this option will be changed and a circle is filled with animation as you can see in the image. If you’re feeling difficult to understand what I am saying. You can watch a full video tutorial on this program [Custom Radio Buttons].
Video Tutorial of Custom Radio Buttons or Option Buttons
In the video, you’ve seen the custom radio or option buttons. As you know, this is a pure CSS program that means only HTML & CSS are used to create these buttons. To make these buttons, I used HTML <input type=”radio”> and <label> tags. You can also use the radio tag only to create a custom radio button but I used a label tag to control the radio button on text or label click.
If you want to control the <input type=”radio”> with <label> then you need to pass the id name of radio tag inside for attribute of the label tag like this <input type=”radio” name=”select” id=”option-1″> and <label for=”option-1″></label>. You’re thinking about why I used name attribute in radio tag, if you want, the user can select only one option in a form then this name attribute value must be the same as all other radio tags.
