In online surveys/questionaires, what's the difference in the function of radio buttons and tick boxes? Why would one be used instead of the other? |

They can be coded in different ways to achieve slightly different results... I think it's more about perception than real technical differences. When I've done hand coding, I found that options could be made different but the end result seems pretty much the same. But I ain't no scripting expert, I expect someone else on here is and I'll get metaphorically spanked. |

Back in the day... Radio Buttons were used when you had multiple choices, but only one could be active, Checkboxes were used when you had multiple choices & several choices could be made. I believe Radio Buttons came from Car Radios that had buttons, you could set the buttons to different stations, but you could only choose one at a time & pushing another button would deselect the previous button. |
