Radio button or check box

Hi @micha,

If you just want the checkbox and radio button (html), you can go to content text tab then add the following:

<label>Checkbox</label>
<input name="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="a" />A
<input name="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="b" />B

<label>Radio button</label>
<input name="radio" type="radio" value="c" />C
<input name="radio" type="radio" value="d" />D

But html won’t transfer state or save value, it will only remain selected until you refresh the page.
I you want to save and access value, you will have to use plugins eg: Contact Form 7.

Hi @micha,

The name and value attribute is to assign name and specific value for that input option.

Hi @micha,

Okay to make you clear, lets take an example:
You have two inputs, say color and fruits:
Colors you like
1. Red
2. Blue
3. Green
4. Black

Fruits you like
1. Orange
2. Banana
3. Apple
4. Grape

Then we would have used the following HTML code

<input type="checkbox name="color" value="red" />
<input type="checkbox name="color" value="blue" />...

<input type="checkbox name="fruit" value="orange" />
<input type="checkbox name="fruit" value="banana" />..

Name attribute will make multiple options for one option. i.e. it make sure that red, green, blue and yellow are options for color.
Similarly, value is to make sure which options are selected, if no value is given, how do we know which options were selected for the inputs.
This is very important while working with forms.
Same goes with radio buttons.

Hope you understand.
