How to check a radio button with jQuery?

Question

I try to check a radio button with jQuery. Here\'s my code:

Answer 1

The $.prop way is better:

$(document).ready(function () {                            
    $("#radio_1").prop('checked', true);        
});

and you can test it like the following:

$(document).ready(function () {                            
    $("#radio_1, #radio_2", "#radio_3").change(function () {
        if ($("#radio_1").is(":checked")) {
            $('#div1').show();
        }
        else if ($("#radio_2").is(":checked")) {
            $('#div2').show();
        }
        else 
            $('#div3').show();
    });        
});
