"name" attribute in form tag

Hi, When we create radio buttons or checkboxes for a form, is it compulsory that the name attribute for all the radiobuttons/checkboxes should be the same? Like for example, in our tutorial, there is an example on vehicle radiobutton where the name attribute is vehicle for all radiobuttons..n similarly for checkbox example also..

yeah .. thanks !

As I know, check boxes need not have same names. But radio buttons in a group should have the same name. This is because the user has to select only one item from a group of radio buttons and giving the same name will make it possible to identify the radio buttons in a particular group.

Thank You ..

yes, it shows the category like for gender and some fields contains yes or no so we use radio buttons for that and for check boxes also applies the same but for check boxes we have an option that how many we are capable or having for example if you have so many courses completed then use check boxes or having bike car and cycle so you can click on that
