Radio Button Group

• The radio button group construct allows you to specify a list of entries, only one of which may be selected at a time.
• The Perl CGI construct to create a radio group:
  

  # Generate a Radio Group
  print $query->h1('Choose only one from the following list');
  print $query->radio_group({-name=>'RadioOne',
  			   -values=>['First Choice', 'Second Choice', 
  				     'Third Choice', 'Fourth Choice', 
  				     'Fifth Choice'],
  			   -default=>'Second Choice'});
  

• The Perl CGI construct to then later extract the radio group value would be
  

      # Extract out whatever the radio group was
      my $textInput = $query->param(-name=>'RadioOne');
      print $query->hr();
      print $query->p('The radio group select was:'), $query->br();
      print $query->em({-align=>'center'}, $textInput);
      print $query->hr();
