Menu
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);
});
});

<input type="radio" id="q1A" name="q1" value="A" />Q1 A<br />
<input type="radio" id="q1B" name="q1" value="B" />Q1 B<br />
<input type="radio" id="q1C" name="q1" value="C" />Q1 C<br />
<input type="radio" id="q1D" name="q1" value="D" />Q1 D<br />
</p></li>
<li><p>Q2<br />
<input type="radio" id="q2A" name="q2" value="A" />Q2 A<br />
<input type="radio" id="q2B" name="q2" value="B" />Q2 B<br />
<input type="radio" id="q2C" name="q2" value="C" />Q2 C<br />
<input type="radio" id="q2D" name="q2" value="D" />Q2 D<br />
</p></li>

$('input:radio').click(function() {
console.log($(this).attr('name'));
});
You are selecting new set of elements on click, but you need the attr of the current element so, you need to refer to it with 'this'

Something like the following should work:
$('input').click(function() {
var thisName = $(this).attr('name');
var qNum = thisName.substring(1);
var ans2 = $('input[name=' + thisName + ']:radio:checked').val();
getUserAnswer(thisName, ans2);
});
