How to check radio button is checked using JQuery?

Question

I have two radio buttons in one group, I want to check the radio button is checked or not using JQuery, How ?

Answer 1

Given a group of radio buttons:

<input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radioGroup" value="1"> <input type="radio" id="radio2" name="radioGroup" value="2"> 

You can test whether a specific one is checked using jQuery as follows:

if ($("#radio1").prop("checked")) {    // do something }  // OR if ($("#radio1").is(":checked")) {    // do something }  // OR if you don't have ids set you can go by group name and value // (basically you need a selector that lets you specify the particular input) if ($("input[name='radioGroup'][value='1']").prop("checked")) 

You can get the value of the currently checked one in the group as follows:

$("input[name='radioGroup']:checked").val() 

Answer 2

  //the following code checks if your radio button having name like 'yourRadioName'  //is checked or not $(document).ready(function() {   if($("input:radio[name='yourRadioName']").is(":checked")) {       //its checked   } });
