Question

Is any alternative way to make radio button and checkbox exclusive?

Except the below way:

 $(':checkbox').live('change',function()
 {
       $(':radio').prop('checked',!$(this).prop('checked'));
 });

 $(':radio').live('change',function()
 {
       $(':checkbox').prop('checked',!$(this).prop('checked'));
 });

Here is a jsFiddle to work on.

Answer 1

How about in one line ?

HTML

<input type='checkbox'>
<input type='radio'>

JS

 $(':checkbox,:radio').live('change',function()
 {
       $(this).siblings(':checkbox,:radio').prop('checked',!$(this).prop('checked'));
 });
