Radio group
A radio button CSS, built into your site with no plugin and no library. One choice from a few, as real <input type="radio">s in a <fieldset> with a <legend>: a styled list, chunky cards with a Font Awesome Free icon, a title and a line, or a segmented pill row. Native keyboard, visible focus, posts name=value in a plain form, and a data-changed event for hosts.
Let people pick one option at a glance — as a list, as big cards with an icon, or as a pill switch — and it still posts like the plain form it is.

What it replaces
- Gravity Forms / WPForms / Contact Form 7 radio fields with a theme’s styling
- page-builder “radio image” and “card select” add-ons
- JavaScript segmented controls that replace the inputs with divs
Good for
Two to six choices people should see side by side: delivery or pickup, a plan, a billing period (segmented), a size, how to be contacted. Chunky cards when each option needs a line of explanation; segmented for two to four short words.
Not for
Many options or long labels: over about six, use a native <select>. Several answers at once: that is checkboxes. An action that happens on click (a view switch that is not part of a form is fine, a Delete button is not). And a list of pages: those are links.
Accessibility
Written so the page works for every visitor, whether they browse with a mouse, a keyboard or a screen reader, and whether or not they have asked for less motion.
- Real radios in a <fieldset> named by its <legend>: nothing is replaced, given a role or hidden from assistive technology, so screen readers announce “radio button, 2 of 3” and the group’s question.
- The keyboard is the browser’s: Tab enters the group on the checked radio (or the first), the arrow keys move and select, Space selects, Tab leaves. No script is involved.
- Each radio is named by its title only; a chunky card’s line of text is its description (aria-describedby), and the hint describes the group.
- A visible 3px focus ring on the radio, or around the whole card or segment in those looks. Every option is at least 44px tall.
- Color is never the only signal: the checked radio has a dot, the checked card a heavier border and a fill, and in forced-colors mode checked cards and segments get a Highlight outline.
- prefers-reduced-motion: no color transition.
- Without JavaScript nothing is missing: it is a form control, and it posts `name=value` in a plain form, with `required` validation by the browser. The script only adds the data-changed event for hosts.
