Checking which radio button is selected via jQuery

To know the value of the selected radio button, here we are going to use the "checked" selector of jQuery.

The checked selector selects all the checked checkboxes or radio buttons.

Syntax

$('input[type="radio"]: checked')

Note

Always remember to apply the jQuery CDN link before writing the function.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

jQuery example to check which radio button is selected

Let's create a function and store the value of the checked radio button in a variable called res. Now, if the length of res is greater than 0, then we have some value in that variable and we'll print it. Else, if the variable is empty then no value has been selected.

For better understanding go through the code given below:

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#myform').click(function(){
           var res = $('input[type="radio"]:checked');

           if(res.length>0){
                $('#divResult').html(res.val() + ' is checked.');
           }
           else{
                 $('#divResult').html('No radio button checked.');
           }
        });
    });
</script>

HTML Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form id="myform">
      <input type="radio" name="country" value="India" />India
      <br />

      <input type="radio" name="country" value="England" />England
      <br />

      <input type="radio" name="country" value="USA" />USA <br /><br />

      <div id="divResult"></div>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Output
