problem submitting form

problem submitting form


    $('form#formPhase1').submit(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();   
        var samplesYesNo = $("input[@name=orderSamples]:checked").val();
        console.log(samplesYesNo);   
        $(this).submit();                              
    });
   
how to get value for radio button I got from here:
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/checking-if-certain-radiobutton-is-checked

and yet, console.log()stmt prints "empty string"; and not only that, but it prints endlessly, and at the end it says "too much recursion"...   the only way for it to print only once is if I comment out $(this).submit line.. but then how do I submit the form?  they want me to pass to next page/form what the user ordered..

thank you..
