Getting the value of a selected radio button out of a radio group in jQuery
January 29th, 2009
Just a quick tip, I needed to get the value of the selected radio button from a radio group using jQuery. While several custom selectors are available for forms, there isn’t a simple way to do it that I could find. I ended up using a solution that I quite like, and wanted to share.
$("input[name=radio_group]:checked").val();
Have I mentioned that I love jQuery?

If you wanted to compare a radio button value and do something like show an input text field for one of the radio buttons then you can use this -
$("input:radio[name=referredby]").click(function() {if ( $(this).val() == 'Other' ) {
$("#referredby_other").show("fast");
}
else {
$("#referredby_other").hide("fast"); }
});
