How to get the selected radio button’s value?

Question

I’m having some strange problem with my JS program. I had this working properly but for some reason it’s no longer working. I just want to find the value of the radio button

Answer 1

Since jQuery 1.8, the correct syntax for the query is

$('input[name="genderS"]:checked').val();

Not $('input[@name="genderS"]:checked').val(); anymore, which was working in jQuery 1.7 (with the @).
