jQuery get value of selected radio button

Question

The problem statement is simple. I need to see if user has selected a radio button from a radio group. Every radio button in the group share same id.

The problem is

Answer 1

$("#radioID") // select the radio by its id
    .change(function(){ // bind a function to the change event
        if( $(this).is(":checked") ){ // check if the radio is checked
            var val = $(this).val(); // retrieve the value
        }
    });

Make sure to wrap this in the DOM ready function ($(function(){...}); or $(document).ready(function(){...});).
