Radio button

Use radio buttons when the user can choose a single option from a list of mutually exclusive choices. Only one radio button can be selected at a time. By default, one radio button is preselected. When the user selects another option, the previous selection is automatically deselected.

States

A radio button allows two states: unselected and selected. In addition to these states, the radio button also has states for focus and disabled.

One of the radio buttons in a set is always preselected. It’s possible to select only one radio button at a time. Once the user chooses a new item, the previous choice is automatically deselected.

Typography

Radio button group titles and labels should be sentence case. Only the first word in a phrase and any proper or exception nouns are capitalized.

Interactions

The selection is realized by clicking the radio button input or clicking the radio button label; this makes it easier for the user to make the selection.

Target zone

All interactive targets should take up at least 24×24 CSS pixels of space to ensure that they are big enough and that there’s sufficient space between them. This makes it less likely that a user will accidentally activate the wrong control. White space around the target can also be included.
