# deliteful/RadioButton
The `deliteful/RadioButton` widget represents a 2-state widget similar to the HMTL5 input type="radio" element.
Contrary to other checkbox widgets like `deliteful/Checkbox` or `deliteful/Switch`, a RadioButton is usually used with
other RadioButton widgets to form a group of exclusive options. Only one RadioButton can be checked at a time within a
group.

## Element Configuration
A RadioButton widget is used in relation with other RadioButton widgets to form a group of exclusive choices. A radio
button group is defined as a logical group of RadioButton widgets that share the same `name` attribute value. When a
form is submitted, only the value of the checked RadioButton is submitted.
The state of a RadioButton widget (checked or unchecked) is defined by the `checked` property, inherited from the
`deliteful/Toggle` class. There can be only one RadioButton checked within a radio button group.
In addition, the Switch widget supports the following form-related properties of an HTML5 input element of
type "checkbox": `name`, `value`, `disabled` and `alt`, inherited from `delite/FormWidget`.
