Challenge: Use the value attribute with Radio Buttons and Checkboxes

What’s your actual question?

The radio and checkboxes need a value attribute that is sent when the form is submitted. For example, suppose your form has a backend (which you will learn later on) that receives the data from the form. It needs a value for the radio and checkboxes that the user is selecting. So, inside the input tag add a value tag and it give it some value.

<input type="radio" name="gender" value="male">
...
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="female">

notice that the name is same so that it knows that these radio buttons are in a group and only one can be selected. But the value needs to differ. And this value is what will be sent to the server.
