A common feature of web forms are radio buttons, which let users choose one choice from a given list. By making these buttons dynamic, the user experience is improved. In this blog post, we’ll use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to construct a dynamic and attractive radio button form.
In forms where the user must choose one option from a list of options, radio buttons are frequently used. Although radio buttons in browsers by default have a design, it is sometimes not very attractive. The user interface can be greatly enhanced by using unique styles and some JavaScript for dynamic behavior.
Creating a radio button.
We’ll develop a form that allows users to choose their favourite beauty product. This consists of three primary parts:
HTMLÂ – for the framework
CSS – for styling
JavaScript – for interactive applications
- 3.html
The framework for our form is provided by HTML. To improve usability, labels are attached to each radio button.

<h1>Choose your favourite beauty product:</h1>
<form id="beautyproductform">
<label class="radio-container">Foundation
<input type="radio" name="beauty" value="Foundation">

<input type="radio" name="beauty" value="Blusher">
<span class="checkmark"></span>

<input type="radio" name="beauty" value="Lipstick">
<span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
<label class="radio-container">Eyeliner
<input type="radio" name="beauty" value="Eyeliner">
<span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
<label class="radio-container">Eye shadow
<input type="radio" name="beauty" value="Eye shadow">
<span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
<button type="button" onclick="submitForm()">Submit</button>
</form>
<p id="result"></p>
</div>
<script src="3.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
- 3.css
The radio button’s presentation and the form’s general design are improved by the CSS. The radio buttons have their default appearance changed to a more attractive style by applying custom styles.

- 3.js
By storing the value of the selected radio button and by displaying it after the form is submitted, JavaScript provides interaction.
function submitForm(){
const form = document.getElementById('beautyproductform');
const formData = new FormData(form);
const selectedBeautyProduct = formData.get('beautyProduct');
const result = document.getElementById('result');
if (selectedBeautyProduct) {
result.textContent = 'You have selected a Product!';
}
else{
result.textContent = 'Please select..';
}
}
OUTPUT :

We can construct an interactive radio button form by using JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. This method improves the user experience.
