The Radio object represents a radio button in an HTML form.
Radio buttons allow the user to select only ONE of a predefined set of options. You define groups with the name property (radio buttons with the same name belong to the same group).
For each <input type="radio"> tag in an HTML form, a Radio object is created.
You can access a radio object by searching through the elements[] array of the form, or by using document.getElementById().
