Radio Buttons Not Deselecting at Sarah Bugarin blog

Radio Buttons Not Deselecting. The problem here is that a radio button must be checked (traditionally). I've been struggling to find a precedence where no radio button is already selected but haven't found one. In a graphical user interface, an option button, often known as a radio button, is a control that allows the user to select only one option from a list of choices. Radio buttons should (best) start out with a default option checked, not accept input if the user doesn't make a choice, or (worst) provide a button to uncheck everything. Clicking on a previously selected radio button is not deselecting it. When you select one button, all other buttons in the same group are unselected. Radios with the same name are treated as a group. Right now, a external button or ui element has to be forced into the ui to provide clear selection functionality. Very much like a dropdown box. Radio buttons are supposed to be impossible to deselect, because users aren't supposed to leave radio inputs blank. If someone selects a radio option, perhaps by misclick, there's no way out unless a blank option is provided (wording irrelevant).
