Multiple Radio Button Groups With Same Name

Question

I have been passed down a complex application which dynamically creates HTML.

The problem is, the previous person did not know that the "name" attribute of radio buttons actually is the group association.

With the following mark up, is there any way to put these in two groups

<div>
  <%-- would like this to be a seperate group without changing name--%>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="1">Group 1 Option 1</label>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="2">Group 1 Option 2</label>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="3">Group 1 Option 3</label>
</div>

<div>
  <%-- would like this to be a seperate group without changing name--%>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="1">Group 2 Option 1</label>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="2">Group 2 Option 2</label>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="3">Group 2 Option 3</label>
</div>

Is there any div or anything I can wrap around them to separate the grouping? I have tried field set and legend but it has no effect. I know I could put each one in a form but then they will not all be submitted.

Answer 1

Put them in different form tag

<form>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="1">Group 1 Option 1</label>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="2">Group 1 Option 2</label>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="3">Group 1 Option 3</label>
</form>

<form>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="1">Group 2 Option 1</label>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="2">Group 2 Option 2</label>
  <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="radio" value="3">Group 2 Option 3</label>
</form>
