I have a simple form we use internally that has several groups of radio buttons. The form is summitted by email using a perl script.
Most of the radio buttons are yes/no options. The buttons that are working correctly email the input as (X) Yes ( ) No. I have a few sections that are not giving that output but email the radio value as Yes ( ) Yes ( ) No
All of the radio button code appears to be formatted the same. I have never had this output issue before and can't find reference to it online.

Working Code
CODE
<input type="radio" id="ems_called_yes1" name="EMS Called 1" value="Yes"> <label for="ems_celled_yes">Yes</label>


Non-Working Code
CODE
<input type="radio" id="Task1_yes" name="Task 1" value="Yes"> <label for="task_yes">Yes</label>

This could also be caused by a bug in the Perl script.

Could it be that the user hasn't checked any of the radio buttons in a group? It's good practice to always have one radio button in a group pre-selected. You might provide an extra radio button for choices like "Neither" when necessary.

The ID and FOR values don't match (lots of typos), so clicking the LABEL elements would not check any radio button.

What do the other radio buttons in each pair/group look like?
