This is working:
view.html
<div><input type="radio" name="radioPriority" data-bind="checked: priority" value="want" style="margin-top: -3px; margin-right: 3px;" />I want to</div>
<div><input type="radio" name="radioPriority" data-bind="checked: priority" value="need" style="margin-top: -3px; margin-right: 3px;"/>I need to</div>
controller.js
function feedbackViewModel() {
var self = this;
self.priority = ko.observable("want");
//lots of other stuff
}
As expected, when you select the second radio the priority observable's value changes to "need". However, I'd like to use a Twitter Bootstrap button group as a radio. Here is the HTML I have, but it does not change the observable as expected:
<span class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons-radio">
<button data-bind="checked: priority" type="button" class="btn" value="want">I want to</button>
<button data-bind="checked: priority" type="button" class="btn" value="need">I need to</button>
</span>
update I have a jsfiddle going here: http://jsfiddle.net/a8wa8/6/ "priority1" is the standard radio selects and "priority2" is the bootstrap buttons.
The issue is that you are using Checked
binding with button which is not allowed, instead you can use click binding. check this fiddle:

Updated:
Yes you can achieve this by using ko css binding
. Check this updated fiddle:
Updated Fiddle
The checked binding only works with "checkable" controls like checkbox (<input type='checkbox'>
) or a radio button (<input type='radio'>
).
But you have button
in your second example where bootstrap just emulates the look of the radio button group so the checked
binding doesn't work.
However you can use the click
binding where you pass the value to your observable:
<span class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons-radio">
<button data-bind="click: function() { priority2('want') }"
type="button" class="btn" value="want">I want to</button>
<button data-bind="click: function() { priority2('need') }"
type="button" class="btn" value="need">I need to</button>
</span>
And you can hide this behind a custom binding:
ko.bindingHandlers.valueClick = {
init: function(element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor,
viewModel, bindingContext) {
var value = valueAccessor();
var newValueAccessor = function() {
return function() {
value(element.value);
};
};
ko.bindingHandlers.click.init(element, newValueAccessor,
allBindingsAccessor, viewModel, bindingContext);
},
}
Then you can use it like:
<span class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons-radio">
<button data-bind="valueClick: priority2"
type="button" class="btn" value="want">I want to</button>
<button data-bind="valueClick: priority2"
type="button" class="btn" value="need">I need to</button>
</span>
