$("input:radio[name='radio1']:checked").val();

If i use the above,i just get "ON" as a return value... I need the value from

Answer 1

You need to specify a value="..." attribute for your radio buttons if you want some value besides "on" returned.

Use the following, and you should get back 1 or 2 from .val():

<input type='radio' name='radio1' id='r1' value="1" />
<input type='radio' name='radio1' id='r2' value="2" />

Not related, but you also need to use for="r1" and for="r2" for your lables - ie, use an element's id as the value of the for attribute of its label.
