How can I check whether a radio button is selected with JavaScript?

Question

I have two radio buttons within an HTML form. A dialog box appears when one of the fields is null. How can I check whether a radio button is selected?

Answer 1

This code will alert the selected radio button when the form is submitted. It used jQuery to get the selected value.

$("form").submit(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  $this = $(this);

  var value = $this.find('input:radio[name=COLOR]:checked').val();
  alert(value);
});
