jQuery - get val()

in Getting Started • 8 years ago

Hello.
I have <input name="me" type="radio" value="">
<form><input name="other" type="radio" value=""></form>
I want when i click over radio input (name="me") to get his value data and put it in other (name="other") form input.

So, tell me how to work?

This code here will do what you want

$("input[name='me']").click(function() {
$("input[name='other']").val($(this).val());
});

However, maybe you can explain what it is that you're trying to do? What you describe doesn't make a lot of sense, since there is no value for either of the radio buttons and having only one radio button with each name sort of defeats the purpose of using radio buttons to begin with. Unless what you posted is only part of your code.

It's not very clever idea, but my friend wants..

1. I have categories which are generating with php. For every category we have input type="radio". Just input, it's not form.
<input type="radio" name="me" value="category_1"/>
<input type="radio" name="me" value="category_2"/>
<input type="radio" name="me" value="category_2"/>

After that i have form like this.
<form>
....
<input type="text" name="cat" value=""/>
</form>
When I check to any category, i want to give value data from it and in this time to put it in
<input type="text" name="cat" value=""/>

If I choose other category to change value data in <input type="text" name="cat" value=""/> dynamicly.

ok, then the code I posted will work for you, just change it so it targets the right element you want to add the value to.

Hey, Dave. I have other question:
if I have dropdown... how to make the same effect.

<select name="new">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>

<input type="radio" name="me" value="1"/>
<input type="radio" name="me" value="2"/>
<input type="radio" name="me" value="2"/>

I want when i choose from dropdown menu value, for example 2, then input with value "2" to be automatically selected (checked).
