How to check a radio button with jQuery?
Question
I try to check a radio button with jQuery. Here's my code:
<form>
<div id='type'>
<input type='radio' id='radio_1' name='type' value='1' />
<input type='radio' id='radio_2' name='type' value='2' />
<input type='radio' id='radio_3' name='type' value='3' />
</div>
</form>
And the JavaScript:
jQuery("#radio_1").attr('checked', true);
Doesn't work:
jQuery("input[value='1']").attr('checked', true);
Doesn't work:
jQuery('input:radio[name="type"]').filter('[value="1"]').attr('checked', true);
Doesn't work:
Do you have another idea? What am I missing?
Accepted Answer
For versions of jQuery equal or above (>=) 1.6, use:
$("#radio_1").prop("checked", true);
For versions prior to (<) 1.6, use:
$("#radio_1").attr('checked', 'checked');
Tip: You may also want to call click() or change() on the radio button afterwards. See comments for more info.

Try this.
In this example, I'm targeting it with its input name and value
$("input[name=background][value='some value']").prop("checked",true);
Good to know: in case of multi-word value, it will work because of apostrophes, too.
One more function prop() that is added in jQuery 1.6, that serves the same purpose.
$("#radio_1").prop("checked", true);
Short and easy to read option:
$("#radio_1").is(":checked")
It returns true or false, so you can use it in "if" statement.
Try this.
To check Radio button using Value use this.
$('input[name=type][value=2]').attr('checked', true);
Or
$('input[name=type][value=2]').attr('checked', 'checked');
Or
$('input[name=type][value=2]').prop('checked', 'checked');
To check Radio button using ID use this.
$('#radio_1').attr('checked','checked');
Or
$('#radio_1').prop('checked','checked');
