This article provides concise jQuery code snippets and answers frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding manipulating radio button groups.

Retrieving the Selected Radio Button's Value:

The simplest way to get the value of a selected radio button is:

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

Alternatively, if you need the value upon selection:

$('input:radio[name=theme]').click(function() {
  var value = $(this).val();
  // Use the 'value' variable here
});

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

The following FAQs cover common jQuery radio button group operations:

• Getting the selected radio button's value: Use $('input[name="radioName"]:checked').val(); Replace "radioName" with your actual radio button group name.

• Setting a radio button's value: Use $('input[name="radioName"]').prop('checked', true); to select a specific radio button.

• Checking if a radio button is selected: Use $('input[name="radioName"]:checked').length > 0 to check if any radio button within the group is selected.

• Handling radio button change events: Use $('input[name="radioName"]').change(function() { /* your code here */ }); to execute code when a selection changes.

• Disabling/Enabling radio buttons: Use .prop('disabled', true) to disable and .prop('disabled', false) to enable.

• Toggling a radio button's state: Use $('input[name="radioName"]').prop('checked', !$('input[name="radioName"]').prop('checked')); to switch the selection state.

• Getting the selected radio button's text: This requires additional HTML structure (e.g., a label next to each radio button). A solution might involve using .next().text() to get the text of the sibling element following the selected radio button.

• Getting the selected radio button's ID or name: Use .attr('id') or .attr('name') respectively, combined with the :checked selector.
