Question

I have three radio buttons which have the same theme in jquery. If I select one of them, the color of the button will change to the color specified in my .ui-btn-active class in the css. My radio buttons are named Can meet, not sure and Decline. I want my Decline radio button to have a different color than the two others when it is selected (the color red).

I’m using Jquery mobile and have customized the css for which colors I want to have on the different themes and I have changed the .ui-btn-active to .ui-btn-active-a and .ui-btn-active-b and made them with different values. I have tried to switch between the two ui-btn-active classes without no luck, and I have tried the addClass(..) and removeClass(..) without luck. I made a method in my jquery-mobile.js which look like this:

 $.mobile.changeAction = function( activeBtn){
    $.mobile.activeBtnClass = activeBtn;
} 

where my activeBtn parameter will be a string to choose which activeBtnClass I want to have. I think the problem is that I have problems refreshing the activeBtnClass after overriding it, I have tried some refreshing methodes without no luck.

As long as the radio buttons have different colors when active I will be very thankful.

Following styles should do the trick:

.ui-radio:nth-child(1) .ui-icon-radio-on.ui-icon{
    background-color:green;
}
.ui-radio:nth-child(2) .ui-icon-radio-on.ui-icon{
    background-color:grey;
}
.ui-radio:nth-child(3) .ui-icon-radio-on.ui-icon{
    background-color:red;
}​
