    </ul>

		<p>Radio buttons are used to provide a list of options where only a single items can be selected. Traditional desktop radio buttons are not optimized for touch input so in jQuery Mobile, we style the <code>label</code> for the radio buttons so they are larger and look clickable. A custom set of icons are added to the label to provide additional visual feedback.</p>
		
		<p>Both the radio and checkbox controls below use standard input/label markup, but are styled to be more touch-friendly. The styled control you see is actually the label element, which sits over the real input, so if images fail to load, you'll still have a functional control. In most browsers, clicking the label automatically triggers a click on the input, but we've had to trigger the update manually for a few mobile browsers that don't do this natively. On the desktop, these controls are keyboard and screen-reader accessible. View the <a href="../../api/data-attributes.html">data- attribute reference</a> to see all the possible attributes you can add to radio buttons.</p>
		
		<h2>Vertically grouped radio buttons</h2>
		
		<p>To create a set of radio buttons, add an <code>input</code> with a <code>type="radio"</code> attribute and a corresponding <code>label</code>. Set the <code>for</code> attribute of the <code>label</code> to match the ID of the <code>input</code> so they are semantically associated.</p>
		
		<p>Because radio buttons use the <code>label</code> element for the text displayed next to the checkbox form element, we recommend wrapping the radio buttons in a <code>fieldset</code> element that has a <code>legend</code> which acts as the title for the question.</p>
		
		<p>To visually integrate multiple radio buttons into a vertically grouped button set, the framework will automatically remove all margins between buttons and round only the top and bottom corners of the set if there is a <code> data-role="controlgroup"</code> attribute on the container.</p>
				
<pre><code>	
<strong>&lt;fieldset data-role=&quot;controlgroup&quot;&gt;
	&lt;legend&gt;Choose a pet:&lt;/legend&gt;</strong>
     	&lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;radio-choice-1&quot; id=&quot;radio-choice-1&quot; value=&quot;choice-1&quot; checked=&quot;checked&quot; /&gt;
     	&lt;label for=&quot;radio-choice-1&quot;&gt;Cat&lt;/label&gt;

     	&lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;radio-choice-1&quot; id=&quot;radio-choice-2&quot; value=&quot;choice-2&quot;  /&gt;
     	&lt;label for=&quot;radio-choice-2&quot;&gt;Dog&lt;/label&gt;

     	&lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;radio-choice-1&quot; id=&quot;radio-choice-3&quot; value=&quot;choice-3&quot;  /&gt;
     	&lt;label for=&quot;radio-choice-3&quot;&gt;Hamster&lt;/label&gt;

     	&lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;radio-choice-1&quot; id=&quot;radio-choice-4&quot; value=&quot;choice-4&quot;  /&gt;
     	&lt;label for=&quot;radio-choice-4&quot;&gt;Lizard&lt;/label&gt;
<strong>&lt;/fieldset&gt;</strong>
</code></pre>

		
		<p>This will produce a vertically grouped radio button set. The default styles set the width of the button group to 100% of the parent container and stacks the label on a separate line.</p>

			<p>To visually integrate multiple radio buttons into a vertically grouped button set, the framework will automatically remove all margins between buttons and round only the top and bottom corners of the set if there is a <code> data-role="controlgroup"</code> attribute on the container.</p>

		<div data-role="fieldcontain">
		    <fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
		    	<legend>Choose a pet:</legend>
		         	<input type="radio" name="radio-pet-1" id="radio-pet-1" value="choice-1" checked="checked"  />
		         	<label for="radio-pet-1">Cat</label>

		         	<input type="radio" name="radio-pet-1" id="radio-pet-2" value="choice-2"  />
		         	<label for="radio-pet-2">Dog</label>

		         	<input type="radio" name="radio-pet-1" id="radio-pet-3" value="choice-3"  />
		         	<label for="radio-pet-3">Hamster</label>

		         	<input type="radio" name="radio-pet-1" id="radio-pet-4" value="choice-4"  />
		         	<label for="radio-pet-4">Lizard</label>
		    </fieldset>
		</div>
			<h2>Horizontal radio button sets</h2>

			<p>Radio buttons can also be used for grouped button sets only a single button can be selected at once, such as a view switcher control. To make a horizontal radio button set, add the <code> data-type="horizontal"</code> to the <code>fieldset</code>.</p>

	<code>
	&lt;fieldset data-role=&quot;controlgroup&quot; <strong>data-type=&quot;horizontal&quot;</strong> &gt;
	</code>

	<div data-role="fieldcontain">
	    <fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
	     	<legend>Layout view:</legend>
	         	<input type="radio" name="radio-view" id="radio-view-a" value="list"  />
	         	<label for="radio-view-a">List</label>
	         	<input type="radio" name="radio-view" id="radio-view-b" value="grid"  />
	         	<label for="radio-view-b">Grid</label>
	         	<input type="radio" name="radio-view" id="radio-view-c" value="gallery"  />
	         	<label for="radio-view-c">Gallery</label>
	    </fieldset>
	</div>

				<p>The framework will float the labels so they sit side-by-side on a line, hides the radio button icons and only round the left and right edges of the group.</p>
