Form and Radio Buttons

[edgarv]

Hello,
I am learning HTML,
I am trying to build a form with some radio buttons.
I have 12 questions and 9 of them have radio buttons, the problem is, when I click on a radio buton of for example question 1 and then I click on a readio button on question 2 the radio button checked on question 1 dissapears and goes to the one on question 2 the same thing happens if I go to any of the radio buttons on the rest of the questions. how can I get the radio buttons to behave?

thank you for the help

They ARE behaving. That's the way radio buttons are supposed to work. When you check one the others are unchecked. If that's not the behavior you want, then you should use checkboxes instead.

yes I understand that, perhaps I was not clear enough

question 1 radio button 1 radio button 2
question 2 radio button 1 radio button 2
question 3 radio button 1 radio button 2

if I click on radio button 1 of question 1 it should saty there, but if I click on radio button 1 of question 2 it jumps from question 1 to question 2 or if I skip question 2 and go to question 3 and click on button 1 the click from question 1 button 1 goes to button1 question 3

does that make sence?

The radio buttons for each question should have a different name.

Yes, you named them ALL radiobutton so they're all part of the same group. You need to name each group something different, like tsdragon said. You have different IDs, but the same name, which is the significant thing here.
