You know - normally radiobuttons appear in groups and you can only select one. They're called radiobuttons because of the old radios which had big keys you can press and when youbpress them every other key goes back to normal stage. I still got some of these Radios | |

| Jun 8, 2015 at 12:14 | comment | added | Geert Immerzeel | The second option offers the opportunity to not select any item at all, with the first one this is not possible. The question is: do you want this? | |

| Jun 8, 2015 at 6:41 | comment | added | Phil Mobile | Please, give us some more details on what problem your are trying to solve with this "Options". I can only say that their are not equal, and you can't just switch between them, beacause they gives different meaning and opportunities to users. It very depends on what you want to accomplish.
