Reading the selected value from asp:RadioButtonList using jQuery

Question

I've got code similar to the following...

<p><label>Do you have buffet facilities?</label>
  <asp:RadioButtonList ID="blnBuffetMealFacilities:chk" runat="server">
    <asp:ListItem Text="Yes" Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="No" Value="0"></asp:ListItem>
  </asp:RadioButtonList></p>
<div id="HasBuffet">
  <p><label>What is the capacity for the buffet?</label>
  <asp:RadioButtonList ID="radBuffetCapacity" runat="server">
    <asp:ListItem Text="Suitable for upto 30 guests" value="0 to 30"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="Suitable for upto 50 guests" value="30 to 50"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="Suitable for upto 75 guests" value="50 to 75"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="Suitable for upto 100 guests" value="75 to 100"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="Suitable for upto 150 guests" value="100 to 150"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="Suitable for upto 250 guests" value="150 to 250"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="Suitable for upto 400 guests" value="250 to 400"></asp:ListItem>
  </asp:RadioButtonList></p>
</div>

I want to capture an event when the radio list blBuffetMealFacilities:chk changes client side and perform a slide down function on the HasBuffet div from jQuery. What's the best way to create this, bearing in mind there are several similar sections on the page, where I want questions to be revealed depending on a yes no answer in a radio list.

Answer 1

this:

$('#rblDiv input').click(function(){
    alert($('#rblDiv input').index(this));
});

will get you the index of the radio button that was clicked (i think, untested) (note you've had to wrap your RBL in #rblDiv

you could then use that to display the corresponding div like this:

$('.divCollection div:eq(' + $('#rblDiv input').index(this) +')').show();

Is that what you meant?

Edit: Another approach would be to give the rbl a class name, then go:

$('.rblClass').val();

Answer 2

The simple way to retrieve checked value of RadioButtonList1 is:

$('#RadioButtonList1 input:checked').val()

Edit by Tim:

where RadioButtonList1 must be the ClientID of the RadioButtonList

var rblSelectedValue = $("#<%= RadioButtonList1.ClientID %> input:checked"); 

Answer 3

This worked for me...

<asp:RadioButtonList runat="server" ID="Intent">
  <asp:ListItem Value="Confirm">Yes!</asp:ListItem>
  <asp:ListItem Value="Postpone">Not now</asp:ListItem>
  <asp:ListItem Value="Decline">Never!</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>

The handler:

$(document).ready(function () {
  $("#<%=Intent.ClientID%>").change(function(){
   var rbvalue = $("input[name='<%=Intent.UniqueID%>']:radio:checked").val();

   if(rbvalue == "Confirm"){
    alert("Woohoo, Thanks!");
   } else if (rbvalue == "Postpone"){
    alert("Well, I really hope it's soon");
   } else if (rbvalue == "Decline"){
    alert("Shucks!");
   } else {
    alert("How'd you get here? Who sent you?");
   }
  });
});

The important part: $("input[name='<%=Intent.UniqueID%>']:radio:checked").val();

Answer 4

According to me it'll be working fine...

Just try with this

   var GetValue=$('#radiobuttonListId').find(":checked").val();

---

The Radiobuttonlist value to be stored on GetValue(Variable).

Answer 5

A Radio Button List instead of a Radio button creates unique id tags name_0, name_1 etc. An easy way to test which is selected is by assigning a css class like

var deliveryService;
$('.deliveryservice input').each(function () {
    if (this.checked) {
        deliveryService = this.value
    }

Answer 6

Try this:

$("input[name='<%=RadioButtonList1.UniqueID %>']:checked").val()

Answer 7

following is the code we eventually created. A breif explanation first. We used a "q_" for the div name wrapped around the radio button question list. Then we had "s_" for any sections. The following code loops through the questions to find the checked value, and then performs a slide action on the relevant section.

var shows_6 = function() {
  var selected = $("#q_7 input:radio:checked").val();
  if (selected == 'Groom') {
    $("#s_6").slideDown();
  } else {
    $("#s_6").slideUp();
  }
};
$('#q_7 input').ready(shows_6);
var shows_7 = function() {
  var selected = $("#q_7 input:radio:checked").val();
  if (selected == 'Bride') {
    $("#s_7").slideDown();
  } else {
    $("#s_7").slideUp();
  }
};
$('#q_7 input').ready(shows_7);
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#q_7 input:radio').click(shows_6);
  $('#q_7 input:radio').click(shows_7);
});

<div id="q_7" class='question '><label>Who are you?</label> 
  <p>
    <label for="ctl00_ctl00_ContentMainPane_Body_ctl00_ctl00_chk_0">Bride</label>
    <input id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentMainPane_Body_ctl00_ctl00_chk_0" type="radio" name="ctl00$ctl00$ContentMainPane$Body$ctl00$ctl00$chk" value="Bride" />
  </p> 
  <p>
    <label for="ctl00_ctl00_ContentMainPane_Body_ctl00_ctl00_chk_1">Groom</label>
    <input id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentMainPane_Body_ctl00_ctl00_chk_1" type="radio" name="ctl00$ctl00$ContentMainPane$Body$ctl00$ctl00$chk" value="Groom" />
  </p> 

</div> 

The following allows us to make the question mandatory...

<script type="text/javascript"> 
var mandatory_q_7 = function() {
  var selected = $("#q_7 input:radio:checked").val();
  if (selected != '') {
    $("#q_7").removeClass('error');
  }
};
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#q_7 input:radio').click(function(){mandatory_q_7();});
});
</script> 

Here's an example of the actual show / hide layer

<div class="section" id="s_6"> 
    <h2>Attire</h2> 
    ...
</div>

Answer 8

Try the below code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $(".ratingButtons").buttonset();

    });
 </script>


<asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" runat="server"
            AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceSizes"     DataTextField="ProdSize"
            CssClass="ratingButtons" DataValueField="_ProdSizeID" Font-Size="X-Small" 
            ForeColor="#666666">
</asp:RadioButtonList>

Answer 9

Andrew Bullock solution works just fine, I just wanted to show you mine and add a warning.

//Works great

$('#<%= radBuffetCapacity.ClientID %> input').click(function (e) {
   var val = $('#<%= radBuffetCapacity.ClientID %>').find('input:checked').val();
   //Do whatever
});

//Warning - works in firefox but not IE8 .. used this for some time before a noticing that it didnt work in IE8... used to everything working in all browsers with jQuery when working in one.

$('#<%= radBuffetCapacity.ClientID %>').change(function (e) {
   var val = $('#<%= radBuffetCapacity.ClientID %>').find('input:checked').val();
   //Do whatever
});

Answer 10

I voted for Vinh's answer to get the value.

If you need to find the corresponding label, you can use this code:

$('#ClientID' + ' input:checked').parent().find('label').text()

Answer 11

For my scenario, my JS was in a separate file, so using a ClientID response output wasn't conducive. Surprisingly, the solution was as simple as adding a CssClass to the RadioButtonList, which I found out on DevCurry

Just incase that solution disappears, add a class to your radio button list

<asp:RadioButtonList id="rbl" runat="server" class="tbl">...

As the article points out, when the radio button list is rendered, the class "tbl" is appended to the surrounding table

<table id="rbl" class="tbl" border="0">
<tr>...

Now because of the CSS class that has been appended, you can just refer to input:radio items within your table, based on the css class selector

$(function () {
            var $radBtn = $("table.tbl input:radio");
            $radBtn.click(function () {
                var $radChecked = $(':radio:checked');
                alert($radChecked.val());
            });
        });

Again, this avoids using the "ClientID" mentioned above which I found messy for my scenario. Hope this helps!

Answer 12

Why so complex?

$('#id:checked').val();

Will work just fine!

Answer 13

I found a simple solution, try this:

var Ocasiao = "";    
$('#ctl00_rdlOcasioesMarcas input').each(function() { if (this.checked) { Ocasiao = this.value } });
