I would like to ask if there is a way to get a radio button group name dynamically i.e. optimize the following 2 click functions into one by having [name=some_variable]
.
I tried:
$('input:radio').click(function() {
alert($('input:radio:checked').attr('name'));
});
but it always returns me the name of the first radio button group clicked.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input:radio[name=q1]').click(function() {
var ans1 = $('input[name=q1]:radio:checked').val();
getUserAnswer(1, ans1);
});
$('input:radio[name=q2]').click(function() {
var ans2 = $('input[name=q2]:radio:checked').val();
getUserAnswer(2, ans2);
});
});
