Thanks for this! A Friend of mine was having trouble with this and I was able to use this post to teach myself something new, and pass it on to another programmer.

Thanks again!

@Rio : I didn’t think about this one. It’s what I needed, thanks.

Or you could just use

$(this).click();

Reply to Martyn. To use on a button and a group of radios, use: $(‘input[name=X_Y_Z][value=A_B_C]‘).attr(‘checked’,'checked’)

Hi,

Thanks for this, I always forget how to do it and you got me out of a really tight squeeze!

To set a button, you may use the following method:

$(‘input[name="us_edition"]‘).each(function() {
if($(this).val() == “digi”) {
$(this).attr(“checked”,”checked”);
}
});

This will set the radio button to be checked for the “digi” value.

The @ is removed for the latest version of jQuery. Listed in the release notes, Marcello.

Arjan is using a deprecated way to point at an object via its name. I did the same mistake, the correct code is:

var selected = $(”input[name='us_edition']:checked”).val();

without the @

wasted like three hours figuring that out…
