jQuery set radio button

Question

I am trying to set a radio button. I want set it by using the value or the id.

This is what I\'ve tried.

$(\'input:radio[name=cols]\'+\" #\"+newcol).         


        

Answer 1

Why do you need 'input:radio[name=cols]'. Don't know your html, but assuming that ids are unique, you can simply do this.

$('#'+newcol).prop('checked', true);
