HTML-problems with option-fields in form

good evening all,

here is my problem ...

here is my text ...

<form>
    <input type="radio" id="likeradio" value="like"><label>mir gefällts</label>
    <input type="radio" id="likeradio" value="dislike"><label>mir gefällts nicht.</label>
    <input type="radio" id="stimmung" value="happy"><label>ich bin gut drauf</label>
    <input type="radio" id="stimmung" value="unhappy"><label>ich bin nicht gut drauf</label>
    <input type="checkbox" id="dauer" value="geduldig"><label>ich bin schon lange hier</label>
    <input type="checkbox" id="zeit" value="spaet"><label>es ist schon spät</label>
</form>

my problem is, that the user can choose all 4 radio-boxes. the checkboxes does that, what the checkboxes should do.

but i can choose all 4 radio-buttons, when i visit my site.

i want, that the website visitor only can choose 1 "likeradio"-button and only 1 "stimmung"-button... so i want, that the website visitor can only choose 2 of all 4 radio buttons.

what is wrong in my html5-code?

https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_type_radio.asp - see the "name" attribute.
Another source you might be interested in is https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/SELFHTML

Ok, and technically this isn't "programming" nor "scripting" - it's "markup"

Re: HTML-problems with option-fields in form

ok thanks very much, i found the error...

it is not necessary to give "mir gefaellts" and "mir gefaellts nicht" the same "id". they can have different "id"s...

it is necessary to give "mir gefaellts" and "mir gefaellts nicht" the same attribute at "name"... and the html command "name" must be written into the text.

<input type="radio" id="likeradio" name="likeq" value="like"><label>mir gefällts</label>
    <input type="radio" id="likeradio" name="likeq" value="dislike"><label>mir gefällts nicht.</label>

in this code, "like" and "dislike" have the same attribute at "name", it is "name="likeq", the q i have given the name is short for question, like-question... now it works like it should...

problem is solved now

should this post be in "artwork" section of this forum?

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
