Condtionally disable button by Radio and Checkbox

I would like to conditionally disable a button based on a radio and checkbox combination. The radio will have two options, the first is checked by default. If the user selects the second option then I would like to disable a button until at least one checkbox has been checked.
I have searched at length on CodePen and Stack Overflow but cannot find a solution that works with my conditionals. The results I did find were close but I couldn't adapt them to my needs as I am a Javascript novice.
I am using JQuery, if that helps.
If needed:
http://codepen.io/traceofwind/pen/EVNxZj
<form>
<div id="input-option1">First option: (required)
<input type="radio" name="required" id="required" value="1" checked="checked">Yes
<input type="radio" name="required" id="required" value="2">No
<div>
<div id="input-option2">Optionals:
<input type="checkbox" name="optionals" id="optionals" value="2a">Optional 1
<input type="checkbox" name="optionals" id="optionals" value="2b">Optional 2
<div>
<div id="input-option3">Extras:
<input type="checkbox" name="extra" id="extra" value="3">Extra 1
<div>
<button type="button" id="btn">Add to Cart</button>
</form>
(Please excuse the code, it is in short hand for example!)
The form element IDs are somewhat fixed. The IDs are generated by OpenCart so I believe the naming convention is set by group, rather than unique. I cannot use IDs such as radio_ID_1 and radio_ID_2, for example; this is an OpenCart framework facet and not a personal choice.
Finally, in pseudo code I am hoping someone can suggest a JQuery / javascript solution along the lines of:
if radio = '2' then
if checkboxes = unchecked then
btn = disabled
else
btn = enabled
end if
end if

Here is a quick solution and I hope that's what you were after.
$(function() {
var $form = $("#form1");
var $btn = $form.find("#btn");
var $radios = $form.find(":radio");
var $checks = $form.find(":checkbox[name='optionals']");
$radios.add($checks).on("change", function() {
var radioVal = $radios.filter(":checked").val();
$btn.prop("disabled", true);
if (radioVal == 2) {
$btn.prop("disabled", !$checks.filter(":checked").length >= 1);
} else {
$btn.prop("disabled", !radioVal);
}
});
});
Here is a demo with the above + your HTML.
Note: Remove all the IDs except the form ID, button ID (since they're used in the demo) as you can't have duplicate IDs in an HTML document. an ID is meant to identify a unique piece of content. If the idea is to style those elements, then use classes.

If you foresee a lot of JavaScript development in your future, then I would highly recommend the JavaScript courses made available by Udacity. Although the full course content is only available for a fee, the most important part of the course materials--the videos and integrated questions--are free.
However, if you don't plan to do a lot of JavaScript development in the future and just need a quick solution so you can move on, here's how to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form').on('click', 'input[type="radio"]', function(){
conditionallyToggleButton();
});
$('form').on('click', 'input[type="checkbox"]', function(){
conditionallyToggleButton();
});
});
function conditionallyToggleButton()
{
if (shouldDisableButton())
{
disableButton();
}
else
{
enableButton();
}
}
function shouldDisableButton()
{
if ($('div#input-option1 input:checked').val() == 2
&& !$('form input[type="checkbox"]:checked').length)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
function disableButton()
{
$('button').prop('disabled', true);
}
function enableButton()
{
$('button').prop('disabled', false);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<div id="input-option1">First option: (required)
<input type="radio" name="required" id="required" value="1" checked="checked">Yes
<input type="radio" name="required" id="required" value="2">No
<div>
<div id="input-option2">Optionals:
<input type="checkbox" name="optionals" id="optionals" value="2a">Optional 1
<input type="checkbox" name="optionals" id="optionals" value="2b">Optional 2
<div>
<div id="input-option3">Extras:
<input type="checkbox" name="extra" id="extra" value="3">Extra 1
<div>
<button type="button" id="btn">Add to Cart</button>
</form>
Note that the JavaScript code above is a quick-and-dirty solution. To do it right, you would probably want to create a JavaScript class representing the add to cart form that manages the behavior of the form elements and which caches the jQuery-wrapped form elements in properties.

Javascript Radio Button Value in URL

I've read variations on this for a few days and can't find a working solution to what I want. And it's probably easier than I'm making out.
I have a set of radio buttons, and want to pass the checked value to part of a URL.
<input type="radio" name="link" value="one" checked="checked">One
<input type="radio" name="link" value="two">Two
<input type="radio" name="link" value="three">Three
And I want the value of whichever one is checked to be passed to a variable such as
dt which then passes to the Submit button which takes you to a url that includes text from the radio buttons.
<input type="button" value="OK" id="ok_button" onclick="parent.location='/testfolder/' + dt;>
But I'm struggling to find out how to get
var dt = document.getElementByName('link').value;
to work for me when I try and apply a for loop to make sure it's checked.
Does my onclick='parent.location.... in the submit button need to be in a function rather than part of the submit button? So the same function can grab the value of the radio button?
So I'm appealing to StackOverflowers for hopefully a bit of guidance... Thanks

First of you want to know which value your combobox has with this easy to use on-liner.
document.querySelector('[name="link"]:checked').value;
I suggest using event handlers to handle the javascript, so don't write it in the onclick attribute.
var btn = document.getElementById('ok_button');
btn.addEventListener('click', function(){ /*handle validations here*/ })
jsfiddle

you can try below code
<input type="button" value="OK" id="ok_button" onclick="functionName();'>
JavaScript Code
<script type="javascript">
function functionName(){
var radios = document.getElementsByName('link'),
value = '';
for (var i = radios.length; i--;) {
if (radios[i].checked) {
value = radios[i].value;
break;
}
}
window.location.href='/testfolder/'+ value
}
</script>

var dt = document.getElementsByName('link')[0].value works for me
you can use it in either the inline onclick handler or a function you define

<input type="radio" id="1" name="link" onchange="WhatToDo()" value="one">One</input>
<input type="radio" id="2" name="link" onchange="WhatToDo()" value="two">Two</input>
<input type="radio" id="3" name="link" onchange="WhatToDo()" value="three">Three</input>
<script type="text/javascript">
function WhatToDo() {
var rButtons = document.getElementsByName('link');
for (var i = 0; i < rButtons.length; i++) {
if (rButtons[i].checked) {
alert(rButtons[i].value);
}
}
}
</script>
Maybe something like this. Use onchange and then loop through your radio buttons. Whilst looping look to see if the radio button is checked. Its a starting point.

Change an onclick value with javascript

I'm pretty new to JS and maybe this is a very banal questions but I still can't figure out what's wrong. I have this simple html code:
<span>1</span>
<input id="check1" type="radio" value="a1"/>
<span>2</span>
<input id="check2" type="radio" value="b2"/>
<span>3</span>
<input id="check3" type="radio" value="c3"/>
<span>4</span>
<input id="check4" type="radio" value="a4"/>
<span>5</span>
<input id="check5" type="radio" value="b5"/>
<input id="red" type="button" value="Go" onclick=""/>
What i would like to achieve is, based on the radio checked change the onclick property.
For example, if check1 and check2 are checked go to google.com, if check1 and check3 go to jsfiddle.net etcetera. So I wrote a simple Javascript:
window.onchange = function redirect(){
if (document.getElementById('check1').checked && document.getElementById('check2').checked) {
location.href='www.google.com';
// document.getElementById('red').onclick="www.google.com"
}
else if (document.getElementById('check1').checked && document.getElementById('check3').checked) {
location.href='www.jsfiddle.net';
// document.getElementById('red').onclick="window.open('www.jsfiddle.net')"
}
}
Here You can find a JS Fiddle.
What I thought to do was to set the onclick property like I did with an image, using getElementById and then setting his source, so I wrote document.getElementById('red').onclick="window.open('random page')" but for some reason that I can't understand it doesn't work.
Questions:
1) As you can see in my code i wrote a location.href='address' that obviously doen't wait for the user to click the button, so that's not a solution, how can I make this work?
2)Is there a way to make this piece of code more scalable? What I mean is, in the future if I want to add another radio, I would have to modify manually the code and insert another else if, I thought about something like:
var radio = document.getElementByName('radio') //not sure if this is the right getElement
for (var i=1; i<radio.lenght; i++){
if radio[i].checked{ //is this right?
for (var n=i+1; n<radio.lenght; n++){
if radio[n].checked{
document.getElementById('red').onclick="window.open('random page')"
}
}
}
Any suggestion to my code is welcome.
​

Try out this in JS Fiddle. It contains how you can listen the onclick event of a button and to get the checked value of a radio button.
HTML part:
<form action="">
<input type="radio" name="vehicle" value="Yes" id='yes'>Yes<br>
<input type="radio" name="vehicle" value="No" id='no'>No
</form>
<input id="red" type="button" value="let's go"/>
JS part:
document.getElementById('red').onclick = function() {
if (document.getElementById('yes').checked) {
alert('I have a Vehicle.');
} else if(document.getElementById('no').checked) {
alert('I don\'t have a Vehicle.');
} else {
alert('No answer.');
}
}
If you use radio buttons, and you want only one to be selectable to the user at a time you have to set the same name attribute to them.
You can also make use of the value property of radio buttons for storing the redirection URL.
Here is a more useful example for you.
HTML part:
<form action="">
<input type="radio" name='redirect' value='https://www.google.com/' id='google'>Google<br />
<input type="radio" name='redirect' value='http://www.jsfiddle.net/' id='jsFiddle'>JS Fiddle<br />
<input type="radio" name='redirect' value='https://www.facebook.com/' id='Facebook'>Facebook
</form>
<input id="red" type="button" value="let's go"/>
JS part:
document.getElementById('red').onclick = function() {
var options = document.getElementsByName('redirect'),
length = options.length,
i = 0;
for (i; i < length; i++) {
if (options[i].checked) {
window.open(options[i].value);
}
}
}

if (document.getElementById('check1').checked&&document.getElementById('check2').checked)
{
document.getElementById('red').onclick=function(){
window.location.href ='http://www.google.com';
};
}
This code binds the function to the onclick event of element with id='red'. So add a bunch of such conditions and change the onclick binding whenever any radio button is checked/unchecked.

How to set radio button status with JavaScript

What method would be best to use to selectively set a single or multiple radio button(s) to a desired setting with JavaScript?

Very simple
radiobtn = document.getElementById("theid");
radiobtn.checked = true;

the form
<form name="teenageMutant">
<input value="aa" type="radio" name="ninjaTurtles"/>
<input value="bb" type="radio" name="ninjaTurtles"/>
<input value="cc" type="radio" name="ninjaTurtles" checked/>
</form>
value="cc" will be checked by default, if you remove the "checked" non of the boxes will be checked when the form is first loaded.
document.teenageMutant.ninjaTurtles[0].checked=true;
now value="aa" is checked. The other radio check boxes are unchecked.
see it in action: http://jsfiddle.net/yaArr/
You may do the same using the form id and the radio button id. Here is a form with id's.
<form id="lizardPeople" name="teenageMutant">
<input id="dinosaurs" value="aa" type="radio" name="ninjaTurtles"/>
<input id="elephant" value="bb" type="radio" name="ninjaTurtles"/>
<input id="dodoBird" value="cc" type="radio" name="ninjaTurtles" checked/>
</form>
value="cc" is checked by default.
document.forms["lizardPeople"]["dinosaurs"].checked=true;
now value="aa" with id="dinosaurs" is checked, just like before.
See it in action: http://jsfiddle.net/jPfXS/

Vanilla Javascript:
yourRadioButton.checked = true;
jQuery:
$('input[name=foo]').prop('checked', true);
or
$("input:checkbox").val() == "true"

You can also explicitly set value of radio button:
<form name="gendersForm">
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="M" /> Man
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="F" /> Woman
</form>
with the following script:
document.gendersForm.gender.value="F";
and corresponding radio button will be checked automatically.
Look at the example on JSFiddle.

/**
* setCheckedValueOfRadioButtonGroup
* #param {html input type=radio} vRadioObj
* #param {the radiobutton with this value will be checked} vValue
*/
function setCheckedValueOfRadioButtonGroup(vRadioObj, vValue) {
var radios = document.getElementsByName(vRadioObj.name);
for (var j = 0; j < radios.length; j++) {
if (radios[j].value == vValue) {
radios[j].checked = true;
break;
}
}
}

Try
myRadio.checked=true
<input type="radio" id="myRadio">My radio<br>

$("#id_of_radiobutton").prop("checked", true);

I am configuring a radio button within a document fragment and tried using radiobtn.checked = true;.
That didn't work so I instead went with this solution:
radiobtn.setAttribute("checked", "checked");

This sets checked using name to cycle through the elements and a value check to set the desired element to true. I kept it as simple as possible, its pretty easy to put it into a function or a loop, etc.
variable 'nameValue' is the radio elements name value
variable 'value' when matched sets the radio button
Array.from( document.querySelectorAll('[name="' + nameValue + '"]') ).forEach((element,index) =>
{
if (value === element.value) {
element.checked = true;
} else {
element.checked = false;
}
});

Radio button required - JavaScript validation

I know nothing of JavaScript.
I had to add a group of two radio buttons to an HTML form with values "yes" and "no".
Now I need to make them "required"
There are several other required fields in the form and this piece of JavaScript:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
reqd_fields = new Array();
reqd_fields[0] = "name";
reqd_fields[1] = "title";
reqd_fields[2] = "company";
reqd_fields[3] = "address";
reqd_fields[4] = "city";
reqd_fields[5] = "state";
reqd_fields[6] = "zip";
reqd_fields[7] = "phone";
reqd_fields[8] = "email";
reqd_fields[9] = "employee";
function validate(form_obj) {
if (test_required && !test_required(form_obj)) {
return false;
}
It was done by someone else, not me.
What I did is just added my field to this array, like this:
reqd_fields[10] = "acknowledge";
However it doesn't seem to be working.
Please guide me as I am totally ignorant when it comes to JavaScript.

Why don't you just make one selected by default then one will always be selected.

A link to your page or a sample of your HTML would make this easier, but I'm going to hazard a guess and say that the values in the array match the "name" attribute of your radio button elements.
If this the case, "acknowledge" should be the name of both radio buttons, and to make things easier, one should have the attribute "checked" set to "true" so there is a default, so you'll get a value either way.
So, something like this:
<input type="radio" name="acknowledge" value="yes" /> Yes <br/>
<input type="radio" name="acknowledge" value="no" checked="true" /> No <br/>

I know question is ancient but this is a simple solution that works.
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkForm(formname)
{
if(formname.radiobuttonname.value == '') {
alert("Error: Please select a radio button!");
return false;
}
document.getElementById('submit').value='Please wait..';void(0);
return true;
}
</script>
<form name="formname" onsubmit="return checkForm(this)"
<input type="radio" value="radio1" name="radiobuttonname" style="display:inline;"> Radio 1<br>
<input type="radio" value="radio2" name="radiobuttonname" style="display:inline;"> Radio 2<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Without seeing your HTML and more context of your validate function it's unclear exactly what you're looking for, but here's an example of how to require a selected value from a radio group:
<form name="form1">
<input type="radio" name="foo"> Foo1<br/>
<input type="radio" name="foo"> Foo2<br/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var oneFooIsSelected = function() {
var radios = document.form1.foo, i;
for (i=0; i<radios.length; i++) {
if (radios[i].checked) {
return true;
}
return false;
};
</script>
Here is a working example on jsFiddle.

I always recommend using jQuery validate seems better to me than trying to re-invent the wheel
