jQuery - if else statement regarding radio buttons

I have 2 radio buttons for yes and no, i was wondering if it is possible to run an if else statement in jQuery to see if one or the other is pressed?

<input type="radio" name="option" value="yes">
<input type="radio" name="option" value="no">

if yes is selected then do this else if no开发者_运维知识库 is selected do something else

Is that possible in jQuery?

You can write

if ($('input:radio[name="option"]:checked').val() === "yes")

However, you should use a single checkbox instead.

try

if ( $('[type=radio]').filter(':checked').length)

After checkign Slaks answer, and re-reading the question

var result = $('input:radio[name="option"]:checked').val();
if (result === 'yes') {
}else if (result === 'no') {
}

that way you aren't running to same query twice or duplicating code
