Insert ColdFusion radio buttons

You can visually insert a ColdFusion radio button into your form and set its properties. Use radio buttons when you want users to select only one choice from a set of options. Radio buttons are typically used in groups. All radio buttons in a group must have the same name.

Note: This enhancement is available only if you have access to a computer running ColdFusion MX 7 or later.

Place the insertion point inside the form outline.
Select Insert > ColdFusion Objects > CFForm > CFradiobutton.
