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();
});
so I've been struggling with this issue.
I want to add a checkbox into a div dynamically by clicking a button. Let's say I already have 2 checkboxes in the div, then I uncheck those 2. When I click the button, the checkboxes become 3 (which is what I want), but all those 3 will be checked. What I want is when I add a checkbox, the other checkbox(s)' checked state remain the same as before.
Here is my code (http://jsfiddle.net/gr2o47wt/4/):
HTML:
<div id="chkbox_container">
<input type="checkbox" checked>Check<br />
</div>
<input type="button" value="Add CheckBox" onClick="addCheckBox();">
JavaScript:
function addCheckBox() {
txt = "<input type=\"checkbox\" checked>Check<br />";
document.getElementById('chkbox_container').innerHTML += txt;
}
Thanks in advance for your answers! :)
You can use insertAdjacentHTML() rather than manipulating the innerHTML:
<input type="button" value="Add CheckBox"
onClick="document.getElementById('chkbox_container').insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend','<input type=\'checkbox\' checked=\'checked\' />Check<br />');">
JS Fiddle demo.
The problem you had was that the original HTML (as returned by innerHTML) is from the source of the page, not the DOM; and therefore the checked/unchecked nature of the checkbox originally in place was restored.
insertAdjacentHTML() simply adds the HTML string in the specified place ('beforeend' in this case).
More or less as an aside, it's worth trying, where possible, to keep your event-handling outside of your HTML elements; and binding those event-handlers in the JavaScript itself. This makes for somewhat easier maintainability, and would lead to code like the following:
// note that I gave the button an 'id' for simplicity:
var button = document.getElementById('addCheckboxes');
button.addEventListener('click', function () {
document.getElementById('chkbox_container').insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<input type=\'checkbox\' checked=\'checked\' />Check<br />');
});
JS Fiddle demo.
Finally, some of your HTML is invalid (or at least erroneous), an <input /> is a void element, it can have no descendants; therefore it either has no closing tag (just: <input>) or self-closes (<input />).
Further, the text beside the checkboxes is a little misleading, usually with an HTML form the text beside the <input /> will focus that input; that's achieved by using a <label> element to associate the text with the control, for example:
<label><input type="checkbox" /> click</label>
JS Fiddle demo.
Or:
<input type="checkbox" id="inputElementID" />
<label for="inputElementID">click</label>
But this latter form does require the dynamic generation of ids (which is a little beyond the scope of this question).

I need to select a radio input with name and value in jquery
In this example how you select element with name SiblingSex and value female
<form action="">
<input type="radio" name="SiblingSex" value="male">Male<br>
<input type="radio" name="SiblingSex" value="female">Female
<input type="radio" name="ParentSex" value="male">Male<br>
<input type="radio" name="ParentSex" value="female">Female
</form>
i need some thing like
$('input[name="SiblingSex"]' /*GENDER SELECTOR */)
You can add another attribute selector with this:
$('input[name="SiblingSex"][value="female"]').val();
the above line would give you values every time whether it is checked or not.
so if you only want to have the value when it is checked too then add :checked
$('input[name="SiblingSex"][value="female"]:checked').val();
Just have a look on the Demo on my JS Fiddle Code
Shows the two scenario:
1) when you want the value without selecting radio button.
2) when you want value after selecting radio button.
or may be the thing that you want is here::

I have an input field like below
<input class="d_o" type="radio" value="super" name="old_or_new" checked="checked"> Get this value actually</input><br/>
I have to get the value of the input field i.e., Get this value actually, so tried the below jquery code
console.log($('.d_o').text());
But i am surprised that its returning nothing, and its working when tried to get the value like $('.d_o').val()
So how to get the text value from the above input field using jquery am i missing anything ?
The entirety of your <input> element is
<input class="d_o" type="radio" value="super" name="old_or_new" checked="checked">
The text that's after it, and the invalid html </input> are completely different nodes in the DOM tree. So val returns the value "super" as expected, but there's no text for text to return.
The .text() method cannot be used on form inputs or scripts
http://api.jquery.com/text/
Although I am not sure what approach jQuery follows on this : One explanation can be the "Content Model" specification of each HTMLElement .
Content model
A normative description of what content must be included as children and descendants of the element.
For example :
For Input type : http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-input-element
Content model:Empty.
However for Title Element this is defined as
Content model : Text
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/document-metadata.html#the-title-element
Eager to see the validations on this postulate :)
<input class="d_o" type="radio" value="super" name="old_or_new" checked="checked"> Get this value actually</input><br/>
This is not the correct way to handle the <input> tag. You should use :checked and .val() instead:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#hey').on('click', function(event){
alert($('.check:checked').val());
});
});
<h2>Select old or new</h2><br>
<b>Old</b>:<br>
<input type="radio" class="check" name="old_or_new" value="old"><br>
<br>
<b>New</b>:<br>
<input type="radio" class="check" name="old_or_new" value="new"><br>
<br>
<input type="button" id="hey">
Check the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/MLWCK/
<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" id="1_1 value="1. Жетоны" "/>
<select id="1_1" onchange="document.GetElementById(this.id).checked=true;">
How come when I change option of select, radio isn't checked?
Thanks for carefuly!
But there is something else wrong, because it does not work too:
<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" id="1_1" value="1. Жетоны" "/>
<select name="1_1" onchange="document.GetElementById(this.name).checked=true;">
Thanks to shashi!
There are two things wrong:
- Your input tag is invalid HTML - it's missing a closing double-quote on the id attribute's value, and you have an out-of-place double-quote at the end of the tag.
- It looks like you're trying to use the same id for both the input and select tag. You can't do that; their ids must be different.
Replace,
document.GetElementById(this.id) with document.getElementById(this.id);
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/document.getElementById
Element IDs must be unique in a page, however element names can be repeated. Also, form controls must have a name to be successful (i.e. be submitted to the server).
So you can fix the problem by using references to form controls (and fixing the markup):
<form>
<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" id="1_1" value="1.blah">
<select name="whatever" id="1_1" onchange="this.form.radiobutton.checked=true;">
<option>0
<option>1
</select>
<input type="reset">
</form>
Note that you need a reset button, otherwise it's impossible to uncheck the radio button without reloading the page (or the user running a script).
