Question

I’m trying to create an exercise where the user has to pick the right answer from a list of radio buttons. The “referral” radio button simply puts forth more options if the user doesn’t think the initial answers are the correct ones. This javascript code is run from its own .js file and is linked to the .html page. However, when I press any radio button (input), nothing appears to happen and I can’t find the problem. Anyone see anything?

NOTE: I did not put the feedback section in yet, bu

Here is the Javascript code:

//setup client case questions
    $('.clientCase input').click(function(){
        var multipleChoiceElement$ = $(this).closest('.clientCase');

        if(this.value!=="2"){ //If a button that isn't the referral is clicked
            multipleChoiceElement$.find('.feedback').show();
            multipleChoiceElement$.find('input').prop('disabled',true);
        }

        if(this.value == "1"){ //the correct answer
            multipleChoiceElement$.find('.answeredCorrectly').show();
        }
        else if(this.value=="2"){//value of 2 means its the referral
            multipleChoiceElement$.find('#clientCaseIS').show();
        }
        else{//the incorrect answer
            multipleChoiceElement$.find('.answeredIncorrectly').show();
        }       
});

Here is the relevant HTML code for the section:

  <!-- Start of multiple choice question -->
       <div class="clientCase">
         <ul class="outline">
         <div id="clientCasePIL"><strong>PIL: Primary Inspection Line</strong>

Answer 1

You probably want to wrap your function in a $(document).ready(); so that the click handler is attached to an element in the DOM:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('.clientCase input').click(function(){
        // etc..
    });    

});

Otherwise as long as you have the correct initial styles, everything seems to be working as expected.
