  tdinput name=jt_dist_r_lo value=OH type=radioOH/td
  tdinput name=jt_dist_r_lo value=PA type=radioPA/td
/tr
  /tbody
/table
textarea name=jt_textarea id=jt_textarea rows=2 cols=20
/textarea
/div

Same problem with the textarea, by the way.

Here's the javascript...  (note, this is from a genshi template - 
${job.description} is a url string that encodes the names of the 
controls and their values, like so:


jt_textfield=this%20is%20textjt_checkbox1=onjt_dist_r_lo=OHjt_textarea=this%20is%20a%20textarea 




var jt_values = ${job.description};
var els = jt_values.split('amp;');
$.each(els, function() {
var items = this.split(=);
var item = # + items[0];
var item_val = decodeURIComponent(items[1]);

switch ( $(item).attr('type') ) {
case 'radio': alert(item +  is radio);
break;
case 'checkbox': $(item).attr(checked,checked);
break;
case 'text': $(item).val(item_val);
break;
case 'textarea': $(item).val(item_val);
alert(item +  is textarea =  + item_val);
break;
default:
alert(item+'unknown type:'+$(item).attr('type'));
}

I'm getting undefined in the alert for unknown type on both jt_dist_r_lo
and jt_textarea

I have no idea if there is a bug like that, but I use this kind of
construction to determine if an element is something I need it to be:
if ($('#element_id:radio').attr('id')=='element_id')

You can use many other : selectors to check if an element is something like
an input of a type or visible or animated, etc. I really wish there were
some jQuery functions for this. I don't see a better cross-browser way to do
this. Just selecting a non-existing element will return an Object just like
an existing element. .attr('id') on a non-existing element will return
'undefined' on some browsers and 'null' on others.

 Hi All,

 I'm stuck with Jquery 1.2.3 in a trac-based application.  I'm trying to get
 the type of a form control, to determine what mechanism I should use to set
 it's value (ie, text controls use .val(), checkboxes get .attr(checked,
 checked) etc.).  When I fetch my list of controls, and loop through them
 with each, printing the value of .attr('type') on each... the text,
 checkbox, and textarea types work fine, but radio controls come up
 undefined. Is this a jquery bug?  Does anyone know if/when it was fixed?
  Maybe I can port that patch back to 1.2.3 to solve my problem.

 Any other suggestions appreciated.
