jQuery check/uncheck radio button onclick

Question

I have this code to check/uncheck a radio button onclick.

I know it is not good for the UI, but I need this.

$(\'#radioinstant\').click(function() {          


        

Answer 1

I have expanded on the previous suggestions. This works for me, with multiple radios coupled by the same name.

$("input[type='radio']").click(function()
{
  var previousValue = $(this).attr('previousValue');
  var name = $(this).attr('name');

  if (previousValue == 'checked')
  {
    $(this).removeAttr('checked');
    $(this).attr('previousValue', false);
  }
  else
  {
    $("input[name="+name+"]:radio").attr('previousValue', false);
    $(this).attr('previousValue', 'checked');
  }
});
