How to Check the Value of a Radio Button Group in JavaScript?

Spread the love

To check the value of a radio button group in JavaScript, we can use the document.querySelector method to get the checked radio button.

Then we get the value property of that to get the value of the value attribute of the selected radio button.

For instance, if we have the following HTML:

<div>
  <input type="radio" id="genderm" name="gender" value="male" />
  <label for="genderm">Male</label>
  <input type="radio" id="genderf" name="gender" value="female" checked />
  <label for="genderf">Female</label>
</div>

Then we can get the value of the radio button with the checked attribute by writing:

const {
  value
} = document.querySelector('input[name="gender"]:checked')
console.log(value)

We use the ‘input[name=”gender”]:checked’ selected to get the radio button with the checked attribute enabled.

And we get the value of the value attribute with the value property.

Therefore, value should be 'female' .
