How to clear radio button in Javascript?

Question

I have a radio button named \"Choose\" with the options yes and no. If I select any one of the options and click the button labeled \"clear\", I need to clear the selected o

Answer 1

Simple, no jQuery required:

<a href="javascript:clearChecks('group1')">clear</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
function clearChecks(radioName) {
    var radio = document.form1[radioName]
    for(x=0;x<radio.length;x++) {
        document.form1[radioName][x].checked = false
    }
}

</script>

Answer 2

YES<input type="radio" name="group1" id="sal" value="YES" >

NO<input type="radio" name="group1" id="sal1" value="NO" >

<input type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('sal').checked=false;document.getElementById('sal1').checked=false">

Answer 3

This should work. Make sure each button has a unique ID. (Replace Choose_Yes and Choose_No with the IDs of your two radio buttons)

document.getElementById("Choose_Yes").checked = false;
document.getElementById("Choose_No").checked = false;

An example of how the radio buttons should be named:

<input type="radio" name="Choose" id="Choose_Yes" value="1" /> Yes
<input type="radio" name="Choose" id="Choose_No" value="2" /> No

Answer 4

You don't need to have unique id for the elements, you can access them by their name attribute:

If you're using name="Choose", then:

• With jQuery it is as simple as:

  $('input[name=Choose]').attr('checked',false);
  

• or in pure JavaScript:

     var ele = document.getElementsByName("Choose");
     for(var i=0;i<ele.length;i++)
        ele[i].checked = false;
  

  Demo for JavaScript

Answer 5

If you do not intend to use jQuery, you can use simple javascript like this

document.querySelector('input[name="Choose"]:checked').checked = false;

Only benefit with this is you don't have to use loops for two radio buttons

Answer 6

An ES6 approach to clearing a group of radio buttons:

    Array.from( document.querySelectorAll('input[name="group-name"]:checked'), input => input.checked = false );
