Changing checked state of radio buttons?

in Using jQuery UI • 11 years ago

Hello,

I am using jQuery UI radio buttons to change a setting on my page. I am using a cookie to save the user's setting, which runs a function on document ready. However, neither .attr() or .prop() seem to be able to change the "checked" status. How do I do this?

Thanks,

Mooseman

Here are a couple ways to do it.

$('input[name=country]:first').attr('checked', true); //Set first radio button (US)
$("input[name=country][value=US]").attr("checked", "checked"); //this also works

Thanks, however the buttons are still not switching. I tried both, and neither one works. I also tried using refresh method, still without luck. I would also like to note the buttons are inside a dialog, if that makes any difference. Here's my code as of now:

<div class="radio" id="buttons">
<input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radio1" checked="checked" /><label id="enable" for="radio1">Enable</label>
<input type="radio" id="radio2" name="radio2" /><label id="disable" for="radio2">Disable</label>
</div>

Thanks!

EDIT: I got it working now; needed to re-add the refresh method. Thanks!
