How to Add a Label to HTML Radio Button

Radio button allows user to choose only one of the pre-defined options. Each radio button must be accompanied by a label describing the choice it represents.

There are two ways to label radio button elements. One is to enclose the whole <input type="radio"> tag inside <label> </label> tags:

<label>  <input type="radio" name="choice" value="HTML" /> Learn HTML </label>  <label>  <input type="radio" name="choice" value="Java" /> Learn JavaScript </label> 

Html Radio Button Label

Another alternative is to provide an ID for each radio element and then use that ID in the for attribute of the label.

<input type="radio" id="sizeSmall" ... /> <label for="sizeSmall">Small </label> 

Here is another example; we are using a fieldset element to show better grouping of the choices.

<form id="radio_btn_select">  <fieldset>  <legend>Selecting elements</legend>  <label>Choose one option: </label>   <input type="radio" name="fontSizeControl" id="sizeSmall"  value="small" checked="checked" />  <label for="sizeSmall">small</label>   <input type="radio" name="fontSizeControl" id="sizeMed"  value="medium" />  <label for="sizeMed">medium</label>   <input type="radio" name="fontSizeControl" id="sizeLarge"  value="large" />  <label for="sizeLarge">large</label>   </fieldset>  </form> 

All radio buttons with same name are treated as a group. When the form is submitted it will include contents of ‘value’ attribute corresponding to the selected radio button.
