how to get selectedvalue of radiobuttonlist in Javascript?

A

Arnold

Hi,

I need the SelectedValue of a radiobuttonlist in a Javascript variable. The
radiobuttonlist is only used in a form for inputting data into a database.
Before sending it to the database, i check the inputted values in
Javascript.
(By the way there is also a dropdownlist in the form, and i have no problem
with getting its SelectedValue with the same javascript code). With the
radiobuttonlist, i get "undefined" as value.

Thanks for helping me

The radiobuttonlist is created in the code-behind like this:

Dim rb As RadioButtonList
Dim frm As HtmlForm = Me.FindControl("form1")
Dim rbl(2) As ListItem
rb = New RadioButtonList
rbl(1) = New ListItem("option 1", 1)
rb.Items.Add(rbl(1))
rbl(2) = New ListItem("option 2", 2).
rb.Items.Add(rbl(2))
rb.ID = "radio1"
frm.Controls.Add(rb)

The code in the aspx file:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<input id="Sub1" type="button" value="submit" onclick="checkvalue()"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var antw
function checkvalue()
{
antw=document.getElementById("radio1").value
alert(antw) // this gives: undefined
.....
.....
}
</script>

Run the page then View Source to see the radio buttons generated by the .Net
control. This will reveal their IDs at which point it should be a simple
matter to to use getElementById to get the value.

RadionList value can be processed in server side before sending to database.
radio1.SelectedItem.Text
For javascript you will have to loop through the collection of radio
buttons and check whether its checked or not, then take cchecked value.

Since a RadioButton list doesn't have a OnClientClick property you can
add something like it and save the selected value.

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
InitList()
End Sub
Private Sub InitList()
For Each li As ListItem In RadioButtonList1.Items
li.Attributes.Add("onclick", "rb_click(this)")
Next
TextBox1.Text = RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue
End Sub
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
End Sub
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>

<script type="text/javascript">
function rb_click(el) {
document.getElementById("<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>").value =
el.value;
}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br
/>
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Selected="True">A</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>B</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>C</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server"
OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
