CSS: Depress Dropdown grouped with Radio Buttons

I'm using bootstrap to style a group of radio buttons that also include a dropdown.
When the user selects an option from the dropdown OTHER is not included as one of the radio buttons, so it looks like the last depressed radio button has been chosen when really C | D | E has been.
Is it possible to include the OTHER dropdown as one of the radio buttons so it looks depressed when the user selected C,D,E?

$( document ).ready(function() {
$("input[name='test']").change(function(){
$("#results").text($("input[name='test']:checked").val());
});
});
$(".dropdownitems").click(function () {
var value = $(this).attr("href");
document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = value
});

I don't think that radio buttons are the good solution for this. You could just use "simple" buttons. Anyway, with bootstrap, you could add "active" to the button ( or radio button) class so that it will be shown as if it was pressed.
With single button
Pressed
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary active">Click Me!</button>
Normal
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Click Me!</button>
With your radio button it's the same
Pressed
<label class='btn btn-primary active'>
<input type='radio' name='test' id='testA' autocomplete='off' value='A'>A
</label>
Normal
<label class='btn btn-primary'>
<input type='radio' name='test' id='testA' autocomplete='off' value='A'>A
</label>
Example
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
let pressedId
let buttonsId = ["a", "b"] // List of the buttons which are always visible
let dropDownsButtonId = ["c", "d", "e"] //List of the buttons of the dropdown
$("button").click(function () {
if (buttonsId.includes(this.id)) { //First "if" for "always visible" button
changeClass(this.id)
} else if (dropDownsButtonId.includes(this.id)) {//Second if for the button of the dropdown
changeClass("dropDownMenuButton")
}
})
function changeClass(id) {
if (pressedId !== undefined)
document.getElementById(pressedId).className = document.getElementById(pressedId).className.replace(" active", "")
document.getElementById(id).className += " active"
pressedId = id
}
})
</script>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" id="a">a</button>

Get value from html button attribute

I have the following likert scale:
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" aria-label="...">
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="...">
<a class="btn btn-link disabled" disabled style="width:10px">Not<br />Fearsome</a>
<button id="fear1" type="button" name="gender" class="btn btn-default likert-1" val="0">1</button>
<button id="fear2" type="button" name="gender" class="btn btn-default likert-2" val="1">2</button>
<button id="fear3" type="button" name="gender" class="btn btn-default likert-3" val="2">3</button>
<button id="fear4" type="button" name="gender" class="btn btn-default likert-4" val="3">4</button>
<button id="fear5" type="button" name="gender" class="btn btn-default likert-5" val="4">5</button>
<a class="btn btn-link disabled" disabled style="width:10px">Extremely<br />Fearsome</a>
</div>
</div>
I am trying to access the 'val' attribute from a script by using:
$('#fear').val($(this).getAttribute('val'));
but this does not seem to work.
Note: #fear is the id of a hidden variable

getAttribute is a standard DOM method but you are trying to call it on a jQuery object.
Either use a standard DOM object:
this.getAttribute('val')
or use the jQuery attr method:
$(this).attr('val')
Note that val is not a valid attribute for the button element. Consider data-val instead.
Alternative, avoid adding an extra attribute with redundant information in the first place.
$(this).text();

none of the element has id "fear", check u have named them like fear1, fear2, fear3 ....
try
$(this).attr('val');

Try this: $('#fear').attr('val');

As suggested by #DimalChandrasiri, use
$(this).attr('val') or $('#fear').attr('val')

Toggle one button at at time Bootstrap

I've been playing with this for the last hour and can't seem to figure out how to have one button toggle at a time. Also trying to have the button change to different color So if I click button1 it toggles. If I then click button2, then button1 untoggles and button2 toggles.
Here's what I have so far
<div class="Demo-boot" style="padding:30px;">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="button">Button1</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="button">Button2</button>
</div>
Here it is in action:
http://www.bootply.com/MaxkTJs3HH

You need to set it up in a button group like this::
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-primary active">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option1" autocomplete="off" checked> Button 1
</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option2" autocomplete="off"> Button 2
</label>
</div>

first add some ids to the buttons
<div class="Demo-boot" style="padding:30px;">
<button id="button_one" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="button">Button1</button>
<button id="button_two" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="button">Button2</button>
</div>
Next add some jquery
$('#button_one').click(function (e) {
$('#button_two').removeClass('active')
});
$('#button_two').click(function (e) {
$('#button_one').removeClass('active')
});

Bootstrap - btn-group, data-toggle="buttons" : how to select a button with JS and deselect all others?

Hi, I'm using Bootstrap's .btn-group class like this:
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-default active">
<input type="radio" name="radio-popup-position" id="radio-popup-style-1" checked>button-1
</label>
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="radio" name="radio-popup-position" id="radio-popup-style-2">button-2
</label>
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="radio" name="radio-popup-position" id="radio-popup-style-3">button-3
</label>
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="radio" name="radio-popup-position" id="radio-popup-style-4">button-4
</label>
In my app I need to "manually" select a button with JS and currently I'm doing it like this:
$('#radio-popup-style-rect-1').parent().addClass('active');
$('#radio-popup-style-rect-1').get(0).checked = true;
$('#radio-popup-style-rect-2').removeAttr('checked').parent().removeClass('active');
$('#radio-popup-style-rect-3').removeAttr('checked').parent().removeClass('active');
$('#radio-popup-style-rect-4').removeAttr('checked').parent().removeClass('active');
... times four, for each case that I need to select one of the buttons. That's not such a big deal if I have just 4 buttons, but now I need to have 13. Which means a lot of code.
My questions - does Bootstrap have a function that I can call to select a button and automatically deselect other buttons from the same group?
Cheers

You can use the attribute selector
$('[id*="radio-popup-style-"]').click(function(){
$(this).prop('checked', true).parent().addClass('active');
$('[id*="radio-popup-style-"]').not($(this)).removeAttr('checked').prop('checked', false).parent().removeClass('active');
});
JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/TRNCFRMCN/6o1k1cvo/1/.
About regex in attribute selector: http://www.thegeekyway.com/css-regex-selector-using-regular-expression-css/.

You can use built-in BS method to toogle button state:
(you need default button.js on your page)
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/js/button.js#L52-L66
http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#buttons
$('#the-button-id-you-need').button('toggle');

There is no such function/method. However this is unnecessary.
Use class attribute instead of id. Then the code become much simpler:
HTML:
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-default active">
<input type="radio" name="radio-popup-position" class="radio-popup-style" checked>button-1
</label>
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="radio" name="radio-popup-position" class="radio-popup-style">button-2
</label>
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="radio" name="radio-popup-position" class="radio-popup-style">button-3
</label>
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="radio" name="radio-popup-position" class="radio-popup-style">button-4
</label>
JS:
var aEls = $('.radio-popup-style-rect');
aEls.prop('checked', false).parent().removeClass('active');
aEls.eq(0).prop('checked', true).parent().addClass('active');

$("body").on("click", "label.btn", function(){$(this).find("input")[0].click();});

Checked state for buttons Bootstrap

I want to have a checked state for group chexboxes in Bootstrap 3.0.2. docs
html:
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="checkbox" name="123" data-toggle="button"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></span> 123
</label>
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="checkbox" name="456"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star-empty"></span> 456
</label>
</div>
But data-toggle="button" doesnt works. jsfiddle
How to fix it? Thanks.

To actually check the input, you will need to add the checked property. This will not actually make it appear checked, but is important if you are using this in a form and actually want the input to be checked by default.
<input type="checkbox" name="123" data-toggle="button" checked>
To make it look checked (or pressed), add class .active to the .btn label wrapping it.
<label class="btn btn-default active">
http://jsfiddle.net/ZktYG/2/
Not sure why data-toggle="buttons" isn't working. Could be related to this: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/8816
For now, you can achieve the same effect through JS by doing something like:
$('.btn-group').on('input', 'change', function(){
var checkbox = $(this);
var label = checkbox.parent('label');
if (checkbox.is(':checked')) {
label.addClass('active');
}
else {
label.removeClass('active');
}
});

It's been a couple of years; however, I wanted to address the actual problem above of why the data-toggle="button" wasn't working.
The answer was to remove the data-toggle="button" on the <input>'s.
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="checkbox" name="123"> 123
</label>
<label class="btn btn-default">
<input type="checkbox" name="456"> 456
</label>
</div>

I solved this by making a custom attribute that housed whether it was active or not, then setting that value within JQuery's click event.
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-primary active check_button" id="check1">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" checked data-checked=true> Checkbox 1 (pre-checked)
</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary check_button" id="check2">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" data-checked=false> Checkbox 2
</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary check_button" id="check3">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" data-checked=false> Checkbox 3
</label>
</div>
You can see a working example of this within the fiddle,
