Question

I want to get the selected value from a group of radio buttons.

Here\'s my HTML:

Answer 1

I used the jQuery.click function to get the desired output:

$('input[name=rate]').click(function(){
  console.log('Hey you clicked this: ' + this.value);

  if(this.value == 'Fixed Rate'){
    rate_value = $('#r1').value;
  } else if(this.value =='Variable Rate'){
   rate_value = $('#r2').value;
  } else if(this.value =='Multi Rate'){
   rate_value = $('#r3').value;
  }  

  $('#results').innerHTML = rate_value;
});

Hope it helps.
