[jQuery] Re: Forms and syntax: Radio buttons and tutorials?

[Micky Hulse]

Ok, I need to stop floundering around!

Hehe... This is what I wanted:

if($('#option02').is(':checked'))

I think I need to read the docs... jQuery site is down for me
though... Anyway, I am still looking for links to jQuery form
tutorials! :)

Have a great day all.

This would work too:

if($("#option02:checked").length)

I guess this would be even better:

$("#option01:checked")

Not sure why I did not think of that earlier. :)
