Question

(I’ve tried posting this on YUI message group but without any luck)

Can anyone tell me how to retrieve the checked state of a yui Button? I’ve tried by creating the Button in code, which is then outputted as a HTML button but this only changes the title attribute.

When I use checkboxes instead, none of the checkboxes are checked (when iterating through them with jQuery).

Is there an easier way of doing it? Say with the 3.0 Node API, or Element?

EDIT: To clarify how this problem came about, I’m using the YUI ASP.NET controls. They add controls to the page like this

Sys.Application.add_init(function() {    $create(YUIAspNet.Button, {'ButtonID':'yuiMyButton_btn','ButtonName':'yuiMyButton$btn','TabIndex':0,'ButtonType':'checkbox','Text':'Technology'}, null, null, $get('yuiMyButton'));}); 

So as you can see, finding all buttons is not as simple as I’d like it to have been.

Sorry are you talking about checkbox buttons? Use:

myButton.get('checked') 

where myButton is an instance of YAHOO.widget.Button.
