How to get the selected radio button’s value?

Question

I’m having some strange problem with my JS program. I had this working properly but for some reason it’s no longer working. I just want to find the value of the radio button

Answer 1

 document.querySelector('input[name=genderS]:checked').value

Answer 2

Here is an Example for Radios where no Checked="checked" attribute is used

function test() {
var radios = document.getElementsByName("radiotest");
var found = 1;
for (var i = 0; i < radios.length; i++) {       
    if (radios[i].checked) {
        alert(radios[i].value);
        found = 0;
        break;
    }
}
   if(found == 1)
   {
     alert("Please Select Radio");
   }    
}

Answer 3

Try this

function findSelection(field) {
    var test = document.getElementsByName(field);
    var sizes = test.length;
    alert(sizes);
    for (i=0; i < sizes; i++) {
            if (test[i].checked==true) {
            alert(test[i].value + ' you got a value');     
            return test[i].value;
        }
    }
}


function submitForm() {

    var genderS =  findSelection("genderS");
    alert(genderS);
    return false;
}

Answer 4

 <input type=radio name=rdbExampleInfo id=rdbExamples value="select 1">
 <input type=radio name=rdbExampleInfo id=rdbExamples value="select 2">
 <input type=radio name=rdbExampleInfo id=rdbExamples value="select 3">
 <input type=radio name=rdbExampleInfo id=rdbExamples value="select 4"> 

etc then use just

  $("#rdbExamples:checked").val()

Or

   $('input[name="rdbExampleInfo"]:checked').val();

Answer 5

Here's a nice way to get the checked radio button's value with plain JavaScript:

const form = document.forms.demo;
const checked = form.querySelector('input[name=characters]:checked');

// log out the value from the :checked radio
console.log(checked.value);

Using this HTML:

<form name="demo">
  <label>
    Mario
    <input type="radio" value="mario" name="characters" checked>
  </label>
  <label>
    Luigi
    <input type="radio" value="luigi" name="characters">
  </label>
  <label>
    Toad
    <input type="radio" value="toad" name="characters">
  </label>
</form>

You could also use Array Find the checked property to find the checked item:

Array.from(form.elements.characters).find(radio => radio.checked);

Answer 6

lets suppose you need to place different rows of radio buttons in a form, each with separate attribute names ('option1','option2' etc) but the same class name. Perhaps you need them in multiple rows where they will each submit a value based on a scale of 1 to 5 pertaining to a question. you can write your javascript like so:

<script type="text/javascript">

    var ratings = document.getElementsByClassName('ratings'); // we access all our radio buttons elements by class name     
    var radios="";

    var i;
    for(i=0;i<ratings.length;i++){
        ratings[i].onclick=function(){
            var result = 0;
            radios = document.querySelectorAll("input[class=ratings]:checked");
            for(j=0;j<radios.length;j++){
                result =  result + + radios[j].value;
            }
            console.log(result);
            document.getElementById('overall-average-rating').innerHTML = result; // this row displays your total rating
        }
    }
</script>

I would also insert the final output into a hidden form element to be submitted together with the form.
