Radio button
Radio buttons are for selecting one option from many, while Checkboxes are for selecting one or several options in a list.

Wrap the individual radio buttons with the .radio
class for spacing.
For more than two options, radio buttons should be stacked.
The following form controls classes are supported: .label
, .input
, .textarea
, .select
, .checkbox
, .radio
, .button
, .help
.
Each of them should be wrapped in a .control
container
When combining several controls in a form, use the .field
class as a container, to keep the spacing consistent.
Use the <label>
element to associate text and <input>
form control.
Using <fieldset>
and <legend>
ensures that the text description is read to screen reader users when the grouping is navigated to.
Fieldset and legend should only be used to associate groups of controls when a higher level description is necessary. Single checkboxes or basic radio buttons (such as male/female for gender) that make sense from their labels alone do not require fieldset and legend.
