Question

If I have the following jQuery mobile html;

<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" name="Smoker" id="Smoker">
  <input name="radio3" id="radio3" value="Yes" type="radio" />
  <label for="radio3">Yes</label>
  <input name="radiobuttons1" id="radio4" value="No" type="radio" />
  <label for="radio4">No</label>
</fieldset>

I thought I could do this in jQuery;

$("#Smoker").val()

However this yields no result. Do I in fact need to query both the inputs to see which one has been checked or is there a nice jQuery Mobile way to do this?

Answer 1

try

$("#Smoker :radio:checked").val();
