JQuery get radio button value

For this post, I will just go short and sweet. Seems easy , but lots of people looking for this solution.

var media_type = $(”input[@name=media_type]:checked”).val();

Note :@name=radio_button_id

Here’s the sample HTML

<tr>

<td class=”form_content_white_text” valign=”top”><div align=”right”>Media Type: </div></td>

<td valign=”top” class=”form_content_white_text”>

<input name=”media_type” type=”radio” id=”media_type” value=”photo” checked />Photo

<input name=”media_type” type=”radio” id=”media_type” value=”video” />Video

</td>

</tr>
