jQuery get value of selected radio button

Question

The problem statement is simple. I need to see if user has selected a radio button from a radio group. Every radio button in the group share same id.

The problem is that I don't have control on how the form is generated. Here is the sample code of how a radio button control code looks like:

<input type="radio" name='s_2_1_6_0' value='Mail copy to my bill to address' id = "InvCopyRadio" onchange = 'SWESubmitForm(document.SWEForm2_0,s_4,"","1-DPWJJF")' style="height:20;width:25" tabindex=1997 >

In addition to this when a radio button is selected it doesn't add a "checked" attribute to the control just text checked (I guess just the property checked without a value). Below is how a selected radio control looks like

<input type="radio" checked name='s_2_1_6_0' value='Mail copy to my bill to address' id = "InvCopyRadio" onchange = 'SWESubmitForm(document.SWEForm2_0,s_4,"","1-DPWJJF")' style="height:20;width:25" tabindex=1997 >

Can anybody help me with jQuery code that can help me to get the value of checked radio button?

Answer 1

$("#radioID") // select the radio by its id
    .change(function(){ // bind a function to the change event
        if( $(this).is(":checked") ){ // check if the radio is checked
            var val = $(this).val(); // retrieve the value
        }
    });

Make sure to wrap this in the DOM ready function ($(function(){...}); or $(document).ready(function(){...});).

Answer 2

Another Easy way to understand... It's Working:

HTML Code:

 <input type="radio" name="active_status" class="active_status" value="Hold">Hold 
 <input type="radio" name="active_status" class="active_status" value="Cancel">Cancel 
 <input type="radio" name="active_status" class="active_status" value="Suspend">Suspend

Jquery Code:

$(document).on("click", ".active_status", function () {
 var a = $('input[name=active_status]:checked').val();  
 (OR)   
 var a = $('.active_status:checked').val();
 alert(a);
});

Answer 3

To get the value of the selected Radio Button, Use RadioButtonName and the Form Id containing the RadioButton.

$('input[name=radioName]:checked', '#myForm').val()

OR by only

$('form input[type=radio]:checked').val();

Answer 4

Get all radios:

var radios = $("input[type='radio']");

Filter to get the one that's checked

radios.filter(":checked");

OR

Another way you can find radio button value

var RadeoButtonStatusCheck = $('form input[type=radio]:checked').val();
