Using JQuery to check if no radio button in a group has been checked

Question

I\'m sitting with a problem, I need to check with JQuery if no radio button within a radio button group has been checked, so that I can give the users an javascript error if

Answer 1

You could do something like this:

var radio_buttons = $("input[name='html_elements']");
if( radio_buttons.filter(':checked').length == 0){
  // None checked
} else {
  // If you need to use the result you can do so without
  // another (costly) jQuery selector call:
  var val = radio_buttons.val();
}
