YouTipAtt Command Radiogroup
## HTML radiogroup Attribute
The `` element and its `radiogroup` attribute were introduced in HTML5 to define a group of radio button commands within a menu structure.
This tutorial provides a comprehensive reference for the `radiogroup` attribute, including its syntax, usage, browser compatibility, and modern alternatives.

## Definition and Usage
The `radiogroup` attribute specifies the name of a group of commands that are toggled together. When one command in the group is selected, any other selected command in the same group is automatically deselected.
> **Note:** The `radiogroup` attribute can only be used when the `` element's `type` attribute is set to `"radio"` (`type="radio"`).

## Modern Alternatives
To achieve the same functionality (a mutually exclusive group of options) in modern, standard-compliant web development, you should use standard HTML `` elements with `type="radio"`.
### Standard Compliant Example:
```html
