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.
