How to toggle a radio button with a label

I would like to unselect a radio button when I click on the label and the following code only works as expected if I click on the button itself.
How to link the behaviour of the label to the button?
<label>
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="HTML" onMouseDown="this.__chk = this.checked" onClick="if (this.__chk) this.checked = false" /> Learn HTML
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="Java" onMouseDown="this.__chk = this.checked" onClick="if (this.__chk) this.checked = false"/> Learn JavaScript
</label>

Radio buttons don't work like you are thinking they do. To deselect one you need to either select another with the same name attribute or reset the form. The functionality that you are describing fits more with a checkbox than a radio button. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/radio for the specs. You may also want to take a look at this question/answer: Reset Particular Input Element in a HTML Form.
Also, there is no need to wrap your label tag around the input. The for attribute takes care of the linking.

If you want to de-select a radio button, you will need to reset the form.
form {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
<form>
<label for="ckb-01">
<input id="ckb-01" type="radio" name="choice" value="HTML" />
Learn HTML
</label>
<label for="ckb-02">
<input id="ckb-02" type="radio" name="choice" value="Java" />
Learn JavaScript
</label>
<label for="ckb-03">
<input id="ckb-03" type="radio" name="choice" value="Java" />
Learn CSS
</label>
<input type="reset" />
</form>

use the attribut for in the label
<label for='idHTML'>Learn HTML </label>
give the radio the id equivalent
<input id='idHTML' type="radio" name="choice" />

what do you mean by this.__chk
onMouseDown="this.__chk = this.checked"
onClick="if (this.__chk) this.checked = false"
if you wanna select just one you could use simply type radio with group the options with one name='choice'
if you want check and uncheck multiple choices you could use checkbox

After many attempts I finally managed to code a working solution with some javascript.
The problem is that as soon as the radio button is clicked its state changes. the previous value needs to be stored in order to know if it has to be unselected or not.
<main id="form">
<label >
<input type="radio" name="rad" id="Radio0" />Learn Html
</label>
<br><br>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="rad" id="Radio1" />Learn CSS
</label>
<br><br>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="rad" id="Radio2" />Learn Java
</label>
</main>
<script>
let buttons = document.querySelectorAll('#form input');
for (button of buttons){
button.dataset.waschecked="false";
button.addEventListener('click', myFunction, false);
}
function myFunction(e) {
if (e.originalTarget.dataset.waschecked == "false"){
for (button of document.querySelectorAll('#form input')){
button.dataset.waschecked = "false";
}
e.originalTarget.dataset.waschecked = "true";
e.originalTarget.checked =true;
}else {
for (button of document.querySelectorAll('#form input')){
button.dataset.waschecked = "false";
}
e.originalTarget.checked =false;
}
}
</script>
Any suggestion to improve this code is welcome.

Enable/Disable input by radio selection with jquery

A form with radio buttons. If "Existing" is checked, the "existingnumber" input will be enabled. It works fine during the selection process but does not work onload. On load the input "existingnumber" remains disabled even though it's "checked". This is problematic when the form is submitted, and fails error validation. I've tried appending .change() at the end, and creating a function which I called on document ready but that didn't work. I think I'm missing something. Perhaps I need to get the value first? I'm a bit of a jquery noob.
<input type="radio" name="officephone" value="New" id="officephonenew" >
<label for="officephonenew">New</label><br>
<input type="radio" name="officephone" value="Existing" id="officephoneexisting" checked>
<label for="officephoneexisting">Existing</label><br>
<input type="text" name="existingnumber" placeholder="555-555-1234" /><br>
<input type="radio" name="officephone" value="No" id="officephoneno">
<label for="officephoneno">Not required</label>
$('input:radio[name="officephone"]').change(function(){
$('input[name="existingnumber"]').prop("disabled",true);
if($(this).attr('value') == 'Existing') {
$('input[name="existingnumber"]').prop("disabled", false);
}
});

To make this work on load simply use filter() to retrieve the checked radio button and trigger() the change event on it.
Also note that you can simplify the logic by providing the boolean output of the condition to the disabled property and by using val().
$('input:radio[name="officephone"]').change(function() {
$('input[name="existingnumber"]').prop("disabled", $(this).val() != 'Existing');
}).filter(':checked').trigger('change');
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="radio" name="officephone" value="New" id="officephonenew" />
<label for="officephonenew">New</label><br />
<input type="radio" name="officephone" value="Existing" id="officephoneexisting" checked />
<label for="officephoneexisting">Existing</label><br />
<input type="text" name="existingnumber" placeholder="555-555-1234" disabled /><br />
<input type="radio" name="officephone" value="No" id="officephoneno" />
<label for="officephoneno">Not required</label>

How can I create two groups of radio buttons in a HTML form and when change in A Group will change in B Group?

I Need to create two forms with radio buttons as following bellow and then, when change checked, I need to change automatically in the second form (jquery or javacript):
<form id="form-a" name="form-a">
<input type="radio" name="name-a" id="id-a" value="Yes" checked="checked" />
<input type="radio" name="name-b" id="id-b" value="No" />
</form>
<form id="form-b" name="form-b">
<input type="radio" name="name-c" id="id-c" value="Yes" checked="checked" />
<input type="radio" name="name-d" id="id-d" value="No" />
</form>

Just change the name attribute values on the radio buttons to group them and then just add an event listener to listen for changes.
Here is an example.
var radioBtns = document.querySelectorAll("input[type=radio]");
function radioChangeHndl(evt) {
radioBtns.forEach(function(radioBtn) {
radioBtn.checked = '';
if(radioBtn.value === this.value) {
radioBtn.checked = 'true'
}
}.bind(this))
}
radioBtns.forEach(function(radioBtn) {
radioBtn.addEventListener('change', radioChangeHndl);
});
<form id="form-a" name="form-a">
<input type="radio" name="name-a" id="id-a" value="Yes" checked="checked" />
<input type="radio" name="name-b" id="id-b" value="No" />
</form>
<form id="form-b" name="form-b">
<input type="radio" name="name-c" id="id-c" value="Yes" checked="checked" />
<input type="radio" name="name-d" id="id-d" value="No" />
</form>

EDIT: Changed the HTML and JS. Know you just have to add the classes to the Radiobuttons. Tsted with Firefox, Chrome and IE 11. Maybe its not working because jquery is not loaded? If you Add jquery in the Javascript-Part, its working.
My solution is working in both ways. Click on form-a and form-b
HTML:
I changed the button names for grouping. JQuery selector is the classname i added.
<body onload="bodyLoad()">
<form id="form-a" name="form-a">
<input type="radio" class="radioA" name="name-a" id="id-a" value="Yes" checked="checked" />
<input type="radio" class="radioB" name="name-b" id="id-b" value="No" />
</form>
<form id="form-b" name="form-b">
<input type="radio" class="radioA" name="name-c" id="id-c" value="Yes" checked="checked" />
<input type="radio" class="radioB" name="name-d" id="id-d" value="No" />
</form>
JS:
I decided to use click event.
function bodyLoad () {
$("input:radio").click(function() {
var myClass = $(this).attr("class");
$("input:radio").prop('checked',false);
$("." + myClass).prop('checked',true);
});}

OnClick of RadioButton not working

I was trying to change the text of a submit button on change of radio button .My code for html part is :
<input type="radio" onclick="check()" name="radio-view" data-icon="segment-titlestyle-segonly" id="segment1" value="Yes"/>
<label for="segment1" id="controls">
<span class="ui-btn-text-controls">Yes</span>
</label>
<input type="radio" onclick="check()" name="radio-view" data-icon="segment-titlestyle-segonly" id="segment2" value="No" checked="checked"/>
<label for="segment2" id="controls">
<span class="ui-btn-text-controls">No</span>
</label>
<input type="submit" value="send" name="sendbutton" id="sendbutton"/>
My javascript code is as follow :
function check(){
var x;
x=document.f1.radio-view;
if(x[0].checked){
document.f1.sendbutton.value="PROCEED";
}
else if(x[1].checked){
document.f1.sendbutton.value="SEND";
}
}
But its not changing the test.What can be the reason for it?

If you decide to address elements directly, use their names properly:
var x = document.f1['radio-view'];
... as you cannot access with the dot syntax the properties which names are not valid identifiers. document.f1.radio-view is treated as document.f1.radio - view, which apparently makes no sense.
But actually, I'd rather skip this part completely: if radio-button is clicked, it's definitely set as checked. So this...
<input type="radio" onclick="check(this)" ... />
...
function check(button) {
document.f1.sendbutton.value = button.value === 'Yes' ? 'PROCEED' : 'SEND';
}
... should be quite enough, as this demo shows.

See Demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/Tngbs/
//HTML
<form>
<fieldset id="SPserviceStatus" data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" data-mini="true">
<legend>Group<span class="required">*</span></legend>
<input type="radio" name="ss" id="s1" value="Yes">
<label for="serviceStatus1">Yes</label>
<input type="radio" name="ss" id="s2" value="No" checked="checked">
<label for="serviceStatus2">No</label>
</fieldset>
<input type='submit' id='submitBtn' value='SUBMIT' />
</form>
//JS
$("#s1").click(function () {
document.getElementById("submitBtn").value = "Yes Clicked";
return false;
});
$("#s2").click(function () {
document.getElementById("submitBtn").value = "No Clicked";
return false;
});

Delete drop down when it is blank using Javascript or Jquery

Is it possible to write a Javascript function to delete a drop down when it is blank?
<form name="myform" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" id="myform">
<div>
<label id="question1">1) Draw recognizable shapes</label>
<br />
<input type="radio" value="Yes" id="question1_0" name="question1_0" />
Yes
<input type="radio" value="No" id="question1_1" name="question1_1" />
No
</div>
<div>
<label id="question2">2) Competently cut paper </label>
<br />
<input type="radio" value="Yes" id="question2_0" name="question2_0" />
Yes
<input type="radio" value="No" id="question2_1" name="question2_1" />
No
</div>
<div>
<label id="question3">3) Hold a pencil</label>
<br />
<input type="radio" value="Yes" id="question3_0" name="question3_0" />
Yes
<input type="radio" value="No" id="question3_1" name="question3_1" />
No
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Delete Drop Down" onclick="return checkanddelete"/>
</form>
If somebody does not select question 2 for example, it deletes question 2 label and the drop down.

Assuming you actually meant radio button groups (and not drop down lists) then firstly your HTML is incorrect, you need to set the name values of each group of radio buttons to be the same:
<input type="radio" value="Yes" id="question1_0" name="question1" /> Yes
<input type="radio" value="No" id="question1_1" name="question1" /> No
Then you need to loop through the list of radio buttons, if none in the group are selected then delete the parent div:
$('input[type=submit]').on('click', function() {
var radioArr = [];
$(':radio').each(function(){
var radName = this.name;
if($.inArray(radName, radioArr) < 0 && $(':radio[name='+radName+']:checked').length == 0)
{
radioArr.push(radName);
$(this).closest("div")
.remove();
}
});
return false; //to stop the form submitting for testing purposes
});
While you are there, you might want to add some <label for=""> tags around your text.
Here is a jsFiddle of the solution.

If your dropdown has an id of DropDown, and you are looking to hide the dropdon on submit click:
function checkanddelete()
{
if ( $('#question2_0.=:checked, #question2_1:checked').length )
$('#dropdown').hide() // Or $('#dropdown').remove() if you do not plan on showing it again.
return false; // if you plan on not submitting the form..
}
Optimization for use in a module for a page include adding appropriate ids and classes to the divs, which I'm assuming that in full code are there, but if you are planning on making UI adjustments I would advise against using a submit button in the mix..

I don't know, what do you mean under "dropdown menu", but here some info, that can help you.
You can set a class name for the all Objects, you want to delete. E.g.
HTML
<div>
<label class='question2' id="question2">2) Competently cut paper </label>
<br />
<input class='question2' type="radio" value="Yes" id="question2_0" name="question2_0" />
Yes
<input class='question2' type="radio" value="No" id="question2_1" name="question2_1" />
No
</div>
JS
$(".question2").remove();
As an another solution you can set an ID for the DIV Tag above all of this elements
<div id='block_to_remove'>
<label id="question2">2) Competently cut paper </label>
<br />
<input type="radio" value="Yes" id="question2_0" name="question2_0" />
Yes
<input type="radio" value="No" id="question2_1" name="question2_1" />
No
</div>
And then remove it in JS
$("#block_to_remove").remove();
