<form>
<input type="radio"> <input type="radio">
</form>
</html>

How do I get it to alternate the "radios" when I click them?

Sorry for the double topic, I thought it screwed up the first time and didnt get posted.

From what I can remember, give both input types the same name, but a different value.

<input type="radio" name="gameType" value="action">
<input type="radio" name="gameType" value="shooter">

Let me know if this works, as I can't quite remember.

Were you unsure because you use XHTML now, or you just havent used HTML in a while?

Is there anything you could do with XHTML that you can't do with HTML?

initially you created two separate radio buttons. the one that worked created one set of radio buttons with two choices, which is what you must do. you can have 500 radio buttons that only select one choice, but you have to initialize that radio button and define the instances of it like he said above.

xhtml 1.0 is essentially the current version of html with all those type declarations and crap (transitional, etc.). there is little difference. xhtml is now html, however most browsers are backwards-compatible with older versions of the language.
