JavaScript Radio Button Validation

In this tutorial we will show you the solution of JavaScript radio button validation, here we are validating radio button by using checked statement in javascript.

The checked attribute is a boolean attribute. When present, it specifies that an input element should be pre-selected (checked) when the page loads.

So we can use that attribute to find outs radio button states whether checked by user or not.

Step By Step Guide On JavaScript Radio Button Validation :-

Using if condition we checking whether both radio buttons not selected then we are throwing alert message to notify users needs to select option otherwise throwing ok message using alert() method.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>RADIO BUTTON VALIDATION</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <input type="radio" name="r1" id="rbtn1">Yes
        <input type="radio" name="r1" id="rbtn2">No
        <br><br><br>
        <button id="sub">Submit</button>
        <script>
            document.getElementById("sub").addEventListener("click",function(){
                var s=document.getElementById("rbtn1");
                var n=document.getElementById("rbtn2");
                if(!s.checked && !n.checked){
                    alert("Plz select");
                }
                else{
                    alert("OK :-)");
                }
            })
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

  6. Here we defined first two input elements defined in radio type with text ‘YES,NO’ and it have id attribute with values ‘rbtn1,rbtn2’.
  7. A submit button defined with id ‘sub’ for proceeds some process when user clicks on it.
  8. In script we referring submit button by id ‘sub’ which is appends with ‘addEventListener’ for verify when user clicks on it.
  9. If user clicks on submit button then it loads ‘click’ event, there we collecting radio button id’s ‘rbtn1,rbtn2’ for access them and stored on respective variables ‘s,n’.
  10. Using if condition we checking whether both radio buttons not checked by user by ‘!s.checked && !n.checked’ condition statement. If they returns true then alert box appear with message ‘Plz select’.
  11. Otherwise it returns false so else part will work it throws ‘OK :-)’ message on alertbox by alert() method.
  12. Both </body>,</html> tags closed respectively. </body> tag indicates the end of body, Then </html> tag indicates the end of HTML document.
