How to detect radio button deselect event?

Question

Is there an easy way to attach a \"deselect\" event on a radio button? It seems that the change event only fires when the button is selected.

I think you need to add the change function on the input level, rather than on each radio button.

Try this:

$("input[name='a']").change(function() {
  $("input[name='a']").each(function(){
    if(this.checked) {
        // do something when selected
    } else {
        // do something when deselected
    }
  });   
});​
