Banging my head against a wall here. I have this: <h3><span class="num">1</span>Date Range</h3> <p><input type="radio" class="period" name="period" value="daily"> Daily</p> <p><input type="radio" class="period" name="period" value="weekly"> Weekly</p> <p><input type="radio" class="period" name="period" value="monthly"> Monthly</p>
and I'm trying to get checked status with this: var period = $('input.period:checked').val(); But, of course, no joy. Do *I* need to set the checked status of the radio button in order to use the :checked method, or doesn't the browser handle this on it's own? I thought browsers changed the "checked" attribute on their own. I'm totally stumped and cranky over here. Thanks! -Nick
