I have 3 radio buttons in my web page, like below:
<label for="theme-grey">
<input type="radio" id="theme-grey" name="theme" value="grey" />Grey</label>
<label for="theme-pink">
<input type="radio" id="theme-pink" name="theme" value="pink" />Pink</label>
<label for="theme-green">
<input type="radio" id="theme-green" name="theme" value="green" />Green</label>
In jQuery, I want to get the value of the selected radio button when any of these three are clicked. In jQuery we have id (#) and class (.) selectors, but what if I want to find a radio button by its name, as below?
$("<radiobutton name attribute>").click(function(){});
Please tell me how to solve this problem.
This should do it, all of this is in the documentation, which has a very similar example to this:
$("input[type='radio'][name='theme']").click(function() {
var value = $(this).val();
});
I should also note you have multiple identical IDs in that snippet. This is invalid HTML. Use classes to group set of elements, not IDs, as they should be unique.
To determine which radio button is checked, try this:
$('input:radio[name=theme]').click(function() {
var val = $('input:radio[name=theme]:checked').val();
});
The event will be caught for all of the radio buttons in the group and the value of the selected button will be placed in val.
Update: After posting I decided that Paolo's answer above is better, since it uses one less DOM traversal. I am letting this answer stand since it shows how to get the selected element in a way that is cross-browser compatible.
$('input:radio[name=theme]:checked').val();
another way
$('input:radio[name=theme]').filter(":checked").val()
This works great for me. For example you have two radio buttons with the same "name", and you just wanted to get the value of the checked one. You may try this one.
$valueOfTheCheckedRadio = $('[name=radioName]:checked').val();
The following code is used to get the selected radio button value by name
jQuery("input:radio[name=theme]:checked").val();
Thanks

For anyone who doesn't want to include a library to do something really simple:
document.querySelector('[name="theme"]:checked').value;

I found this question as I was researching an error after I upgraded from 1.7.2 of jQuery to 1.8.2. I'm adding my answer because there has been a change in jQuery 1.8 and higher that changes how this question is answered now.
With jQuery 1.8 they have deprecated the pseudo-selectors like :radio, :checkbox, :text.
To do the above now just replace the :radio with [type=radio].
So your answer now becomes for all versions of jQuery 1.8 and above:
$("input[type=radio][name=theme]").click(function() {
var value = $(this).val();
});
You can read about the change on the 1.8 readme and the ticket specific for this change as well as a understand why on the :radio selector page under the Additional Information section.
If you'd like to know the value of the default selected radio button before a click event, try this:
alert($("input:radio:checked").val());
You can use filter function if you have more than one radio group on the page, as below
$('input[type=radio]').change(function(){
var value = $(this).filter(':checked' ).val();
alert(value);
});
Here is fiddle url
http://jsfiddle.net/h6ye7/67/
<input type="radio" name="ans3" value="help">
<input type="radio" name="ans3" value="help1">
<input type="radio" name="ans3" value="help2">
<input type="radio" name="ans2" value="test">
<input type="radio" name="ans2" value="test1">
<input type="radio" name="ans2" value="test2">
<script type="text/javascript">
var ans3 = jq("input[name='ans3']:checked").val()
var ans2 = jq("input[name='ans2']:checked").val()
</script>
If you want a true/false value, use this:
$("input:radio[name=theme]").is(":checked")
Something like this maybe?
$("input:radio[name=theme]").click(function() {
...
});
When you click on any radio button, I believe it will end up selected, so this is going to be called for the selected radio button.
I you have more than one group of radio buttons on the same page you can also try this to get the value of radio button:
$("input:radio[type=radio]").click(function() {
var value = $(this).val();
alert(value);
});
Cheers!
can also use a CSS class to define the range of radio buttons and then use the following to determine the value
$('.radio_check:checked').val()
This worked for me..
HTML:
<input type="radio" class="radioClass" name="radioName" value="1" />Test<br/>
<input type="radio" class="radioClass" name="radioName" value="2" />Practice<br/>
<input type="radio" class="radioClass" name="radioName" value="3" />Both<br/>
Jquery:
$(".radioClass").each(function() {
if($(this).is(':checked'))
alert($(this).val());
});
Hope it helps..
$('input:radio[name=theme]').bind(
'click',
function(){
$(this).val();
});
You might notice using class selector to get value of ASP.NET RadioButton controls is always empty and here is the reason.
You create RadioButton control in ASP.NET as below:
<asp:RadioButton runat="server" ID="rbSingle" GroupName="Type" CssClass="radios" Text="Single" />
<asp:RadioButton runat="server" ID="rbDouble" GroupName="Type" CssClass="radios" Text="Double" />
<asp:RadioButton runat="server" ID="rbTriple" GroupName="Type" CssClass="radios" Text="Triple" />
And ASP.NET renders following HTML for your RadioButton
<span class="radios"><input id="Content_rbSingle" type="radio" name="ctl00$Content$Type" value="rbSingle" /><label for="Content_rbSingle">Single</label></span>
<span class="radios"><input id="Content_rbDouble" type="radio" name="ctl00$Content$Type" value="rbDouble" /><label for="Content_rbDouble">Double</label></span>
<span class="radios"><input id="Content_rbTriple" type="radio" name="ctl00$Content$Type" value="rbTriple" /><label for="Content_rbTriple">Triple</label></span>
For ASP.NET we don't want to use RadioButton control name or id because they can change for any reason out of user's hand (change in container name, form name, usercontrol name, ...) as you can see in code above.
The only remaining feasible way to get the value of the RadioButton using jQuery is using css class as mentioned in this answer to a totally unrelated question as following
$('span.radios input:radio').click(function() {
var value = $(this).val();
});
I have a html form in which I have four radio buttons and one text box. What I am trying to do is - Once I click Test4 radio button, I want to disable node textbox so that nobody can type anything in that. I don't want to hide it, I just want to disable it.
But if anybody clicks either Test1 or Test2 or Test3 then anybody can type anything into it.
Here is my jsfiddle
Is this possible to do using jquery?
Yes, this is possible; I'd suggest:
$('input[type="radio"]').change(function(){
$('#node').prop('disabled', this.value === 'test4');
});
JS Fiddle demo.
This sets the disabled property of the #node element to true (if the changed-element has the value of 'test4'), and to false if it does not.
Further to the discussion in comments (wherein, basically, the OP revealed that checking other input elements of type="radio" caused the #node element to become re-enabled), I've amended the HTML to offer a simple means of associating the appropriate inputs with the specific text-input, using data-affects. giving the following HTML:
<input type="radio" name="data" id="test1" value="test1" data-affects="nodes" />Test1
<input type="radio" name="data" id="test2" value="test2" data-affects="nodes" />Test2
<input type="radio" name="data" id="test3" value="test3" data-affects="nodes" />Test3
<input type="radio" name="data" id="test4" value="test4" data-affects="nodes" />Test4
Coupled with the amended jQuery:
$('input[type="radio"][data-affects]').change(function(){
$('#' + this.getAttribute('data-affects')).prop('disabled', this.value === 'test4');
});
JS Fiddle demo.
References:
change().
prop().
To your jsfiddle, add on the top of js this piece of code:
$("input:radio[name=data]").change(function () {
var checkedValue = $(this).val();
if (checkedValue == "test4") {
$("#node").prop("disabled", true);
} else {
$("#node").prop("disabled", false);
}
});
You can also call the radio group by id instead of name:
$("input:radio[id=data]").change(function () { //first line of code

Hope this helps you...

Javascript:
if (GetCookie('prev_radio_value')!=null){
alert(GetCookie('prev_radio_value'));
$(":radio[value="+GetCookie('prev_radio_value')+"]").attr('checked',true);
$(":radio[value="+GetCookie('prev_radio_value')+"]").triggerHandler('click');
$(':radio:checked').triggerHandler('click');
$('input:radio[name=theme]:checked').click();
}else{
alert("clicking first");
$("input:radio:first").attr("checked", true).trigger("click");
}
HTML code:
<ul>
<li><input type="radio" name="theme" value="theme1"/>Theme1</li>
<li><input type="radio" name="theme" value="theme2"/>Theme2</li>
</ul>
this code is inside div -> 'checkbox_div'
click function :
$("#checkbox_div input:radio").click(function() {
alert("clicked") ;
});
I have used the trigger click in 3 ways but none of them worked or triggered the click event.
example link : http://jsbin.com/ezesaw/1/edit is not triggering the click event upon selection of first radio button.
Just call "click()" without the function as an argument
$("#checkbox_div input:radio").click();
It works just fine:
http://jsbin.com/ivojoz/1/edit
The problem may be that you are not selecting the radio correctly
try
$('#checkbox_div input[type="radio"]').click(function() {
alert("clicked") ;
});
$("#checkbox_div").on('click','input:radio', function() {
alert("clicked");
});
Give this code a shot. It worked for me.
In case u are still interested in this question:
The click event is implied when selecting/checking a radio button, all you need is to bind a procedure to it, this is just ONE way:
//js for radio button click
$('input[type="radio"]').on('click', function(){
window.alert($(this).val());
})
<!--html-->
<input type="radio" value="first" name="same"/>
<input type="radio" value="second" name="same"/>
<input type="radio" value="third" name="same"/>
Whether done manually or programmatically, it seems that clicking an already checked radio button does not necessarily have any effect!
Assuming HTML of:
<input type="radio" name="rv_submit" value="delete" id="rb2" checked>
Trigger the required action via jQuery as follows:
$('#rb2').prop('checked', false); // Turn off 'checked' ...
$('#rb2').click(); // ... or click() has no effect
I'm using jQuery to submit a form in an MVC app. I have a breakpoint inside the controller and I see it is being hit twice. What am I doing wrong?
Here is my jQuery
(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
$(':radio').change(function () {
$('#frmMDR').submit();
});
});
})(jQuery);
and here is the form html
<form action="/Module/ModuleIndex" id="frmMDR" method="get">
<input id="rdoMaintenance" name="module" type="radio" value="Maintenance" /><label for="rdoMaintenance">M</label>
<input id="rdoDiagnostics" name="module" type="radio" value="Diagnostics" /><label for="rdoDiagnostics">D</label>
<input id="rdoRepair" name="module" type="radio" value="Repair" /><label for="rdoRepair">R</label>
<input id="hdnVehicle" name="hdnVehicle" type="hidden" value="" />
</form>
I'm guessing I shouldn't be using the change event. If anyone knows how to correct the problem, I'd love to hear any ideas. Thanks so much for any tips.

You are getting two hits because two radio buttons are changing state. Radio buttons only allow one element in a group to be selected so when you are clicking a radio button, two events are happening:
A new radio button is selected
The previously selected radio button is deselected
This is two events and the reason why your code is being hit twice. To solve it you could give your radio buttons a class and then handle the event on click using the class as the selector.
<input class="radio" id="rdoMaintenance" name="module" type="radio" value="Maintenance" /><label for="rdoMaintenance">M</label>
<input class="radio" id="rdoDiagnostics" name="module" type="radio" value="Diagnostics" /><label for="rdoDiagnostics">D</label>
<input class="radio" id="rdoRepair" name="module" type="radio" value="Repair" /><label for="rdoRepair">R</label>
And your jQuery could be:
$('.radio').click(function () {
$('#frmMDR').submit();
});
You should probably just check for selected within the change function for which is selected. This way it'll only fire for the selected radio button, and you don't need to worry about binding or unbinding any events, and it should work regardless of what input method changed it.
Here's an article on handling events from check boxes and radio buttons in JQuery.
In the callback of a HttpRequest I have, I run this jQuery code:
$("input[value='"+data.notetype+"']").click();
So the radio button with the value of data.notetype is selected. This works fine. But I need to perform an action based on what button is now selected.
If I use the change() method like this
$("input[name='note_type']").change(function () {
var clicked = $("input[name='note_type']:checked").val()
alert(clicked);
});
it works fine when I click on the radio buttons, but when the radio button is set by the first line of code above, nothing happens.
If I use the click() method like this
$("input[name='note_type']").change(function () {
var clicked = $("input[name='note_type']:checked").val()
alert(clicked);
});
it works fine when I click on the radio buttons, but when the radio button is set by the first line of code above, the message box shows the value of the radio button that was selected, not the one it is changing to.
Can anyone let me know how to fix this problem? Thanks for reading.
$("input[name='note_type']").click(function () {
var clicked = $(this).val();
alert(clicked);
});
Here is a solution for this problem, I think this will help you
For example following is your html
<input type="radio" name="some_name" value="1"> 1 <br />
<input type="radio" name="some_name" value="2"> 2 <br />
<input type="radio" name="some_name" value="3"> 3 <br />
<input type="radio" name="some_name" value="4"> 4 <br />
Try following jquery for this html
$('input[type=radio]').bind('click', function() { alert( $(this).val() ); });
I hope this will help
