How to toggle a radio button with a label

I would like to unselect a radio button when I click on the label and the following code only works as expected if I click on the button itself.
How to link the behaviour of the label to the button?
<label>
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="HTML" onMouseDown="this.__chk = this.checked" onClick="if (this.__chk) this.checked = false" /> Learn HTML
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="Java" onMouseDown="this.__chk = this.checked" onClick="if (this.__chk) this.checked = false"/> Learn JavaScript
</label>

Radio buttons don't work like you are thinking they do. To deselect one you need to either select another with the same name attribute or reset the form. The functionality that you are describing fits more with a checkbox than a radio button. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/radio for the specs. You may also want to take a look at this question/answer: Reset Particular Input Element in a HTML Form.
Also, there is no need to wrap your label tag around the input. The for attribute takes care of the linking.

If you want to de-select a radio button, you will need to reset the form.
form {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
<form>
<label for="ckb-01">
<input id="ckb-01" type="radio" name="choice" value="HTML" />
Learn HTML
</label>
<label for="ckb-02">
<input id="ckb-02" type="radio" name="choice" value="Java" />
Learn JavaScript
</label>
<label for="ckb-03">
<input id="ckb-03" type="radio" name="choice" value="Java" />
Learn CSS
</label>
<input type="reset" />
</form>

use the attribut for in the label
<label for='idHTML'>Learn HTML </label>
give the radio the id equivalent
<input id='idHTML' type="radio" name="choice" />

what do you mean by this.__chk
onMouseDown="this.__chk = this.checked"
onClick="if (this.__chk) this.checked = false"
if you wanna select just one you could use simply type radio with group the options with one name='choice'
if you want check and uncheck multiple choices you could use checkbox

After many attempts I finally managed to code a working solution with some javascript.
The problem is that as soon as the radio button is clicked its state changes. the previous value needs to be stored in order to know if it has to be unselected or not.
<main id="form">
<label >
<input type="radio" name="rad" id="Radio0" />Learn Html

</label>
</main>
<script>
let buttons = document.querySelectorAll('#form input');
for (button of buttons){
button.dataset.waschecked="false";
button.addEventListener('click', myFunction, false);
}
function myFunction(e) {
if (e.originalTarget.dataset.waschecked == "false"){
for (button of document.querySelectorAll('#form input')){
button.dataset.waschecked = "false";
}
e.originalTarget.dataset.waschecked = "true";
e.originalTarget.checked =true;
}else {
for (button of document.querySelectorAll('#form input')){
button.dataset.waschecked = "false";
}
e.originalTarget.checked =false;
}
}
</script>
Any suggestion to improve this code is welcome.

Given two yes/no fields, how can I use JavaScript to make the field 2 value checked "Yes" whenever the field 1 value is checked "Yes"?

If Field 1 is checked "Yes" then Field 2 should be checked "Yes"
This is what I've been trying so far:
Field 1:
<div class="entire">
<div class="col3"><label class="label-right">||FIELDTAG Field1||Question15||ENDFIELDTAG|| </label></div>
<div class="col9"><input type="radio" name="Field1" id="Question15yes" value="Yes" onclick="Check()">Yes <input type="radio" name="Field1" value="No" onclick="Check()">No</div>
Field 2:
<div class="entire">
<div class="col3"><label class="label-right">||FIELDTAG Field2||Question16||ENDFIELDTAG|| </label></div>
<div class="col9"><input type="radio" name="Field2" id="Question16yes" value="Yes" onclick="Check()">Yes <input type="radio" name="Field2" value="No" onclick="Check()">No</div>
I was trying something as simple as this js below, but I'm definitely missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
<script language="JavaScript">
function Check() {
$("#Question15yes").click(function(){
if ($(this).is(':checked'))
{
$("#Question16yes").val("Yes");
}
}
});
}
</script>

Make sure you are including JQuery in your page.
To bind your event, you need to wait that the DOM is fully loaded, else you would try to use an element that doesn't exist yet.
<script language="JavaScript">
$(function() {
$(".question-checkbox").click(function(){
if ($(this).is(':checked'))
{
console.log($(this));
}
});
});
</script>
Also, you might want to change the JQuery selector from ID to class, so that you can use the same code for all similar checkboxes.
Put a .question-checkbox class on the inputs, and remove all onclicks.

You don't have to call check on every click. Once document loads, call it once.
window.addEventListener("load", function(){
$("input[type='radio']").on("click", function(){
if($("#Question15yes").is(':checked'))
$("#Question16yes").prop("checked", true);
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="entire">
<div class="col3">
<label class="label-right">||FIELDTAG Field1||Question15||ENDFIELDTAG|| </label>
</div>
<div class="col9">
<input type="radio" name="Field1" id="Question15yes" value="Yes">
Yes
<input type="radio" name="Field1" value="No" >No
</div>
<div class="entire">
<div class="col3">
<label class="label-right">||FIELDTAG Field2||Question16||ENDFIELDTAG|| </label>
</div>
<div class="col9">
<input type="radio" name="Field2" id="Question16yes" value="Yes">
Yes
<input type="radio" name="Field2" value="No">
No
</div>

Use this for a single checkbox with the class name "example":
$('input.example').on('change', function() {
$('input.example').not(this).prop('checked', false);
});

How to use JQuery to select the checked value of a radio button?

I am having an issue I am not able to resolve despite through research and effort. So I am posting it here. I have two input radio button elements with the same name
, which represent Business Bank Account Service being used or not:
<input type="radio" name="bank_account_service" value="no" checked='checked'>No
<input type="radio" name="bank_account_service" value="yes">Yes
Now I also have the following JQuery function which should alert the value of this radio selection:
var bank=$('input[name=bank_account_service]:checked').val();
$(document).click(function(){alert(bank);});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Business Bank Account<br/>
<br/><input type="radio" name="bank_account_service" value="no" checked='checked'>No
<br/><input type="radio" name="bank_account_service" value="yes">Yes<br/><br/>
I want to alert yes when the radio button for Yes is checked. Can anyone guide me as to what am I missing or doing wrong please?

You might be looking for this:
$('input[name=bank_account_service]').click(function () {
alert($('input[name=bank_account_service]:checked', '#yourForm').val())
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Business Bank Account<br/>
<form id="yourForm">
<br/><input type="radio" name="bank_account_service" value="no" checked='checked'>No
<br/><input type="radio" name="bank_account_service" value="yes">Yes<br/><br/>
</form>

Looks like you've got some of your jquery backwards.
Try this:
//all click events go in here
$(document).ready(function(){
//click event on all of these bank inputs
$('input[name=bank_account_service]').click(function(){
//check to see if this is the yes option
if ($(this).val()=='yes') {
//do something
}
});
});
You might also want to consider putting unique IDs for each of your radio buttons. So if you could change your HTML to this:
<input type="radio" name="bank_account_service" value="no" id='bank_no'>No
<input type="radio" name="bank_account_service" value="yes" id='bank_yes'>Yes
Then you could make your jquery:
$(document).ready(function(){
//click event on only the yes input
$('#bank_yes').click(function(){
//do something
});
});

<form>
<div>
<input type="radio" name="fruit" value="orange" id="orange">
<label for="orange">orange</label>
</div>
<div>
<input type="radio" name="fruit" value="apple" id="apple">
<label for="apple">apple</label>
</div>
<div>
<input type="radio" name="fruit" value="banana" id="banana">
<label for="banana">banana</label>
</div>
<div id="log"></div>
</form>
<script>
$( "input" ).on( "click", function() {
$( "#log" ).html( $( "input[name='fruit']:checked" ).val() + " is checked!" );
});
</script>
Try something like this !!!

OnClick of RadioButton not working

I was trying to change the text of a submit button on change of radio button .My code for html part is :
<input type="radio" onclick="check()" name="radio-view" data-icon="segment-titlestyle-segonly" id="segment1" value="Yes"/>
<label for="segment1" id="controls">
<span class="ui-btn-text-controls">Yes</span>
</label>
<input type="radio" onclick="check()" name="radio-view" data-icon="segment-titlestyle-segonly" id="segment2" value="No" checked="checked"/>
<label for="segment2" id="controls">
<span class="ui-btn-text-controls">No</span>
</label>
<input type="submit" value="send" name="sendbutton" id="sendbutton"/>
My javascript code is as follow :
function check(){
var x;
x=document.f1.radio-view;
if(x[0].checked){
document.f1.sendbutton.value="PROCEED";
}
else if(x[1].checked){
document.f1.sendbutton.value="SEND";
}
}
But its not changing the test.What can be the reason for it?

If you decide to address elements directly, use their names properly:
var x = document.f1['radio-view'];
... as you cannot access with the dot syntax the properties which names are not valid identifiers. document.f1.radio-view is treated as document.f1.radio - view, which apparently makes no sense.
But actually, I'd rather skip this part completely: if radio-button is clicked, it's definitely set as checked. So this...
<input type="radio" onclick="check(this)" ... />
...
function check(button) {
document.f1.sendbutton.value = button.value === 'Yes' ? 'PROCEED' : 'SEND';
}
... should be quite enough, as this demo shows.

See Demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/Tngbs/
//HTML
<form>
<fieldset id="SPserviceStatus" data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" data-mini="true">
<legend>Group<span class="required">*</span></legend>
<input type="radio" name="ss" id="s1" value="Yes">
<label for="serviceStatus1">Yes</label>
<input type="radio" name="ss" id="s2" value="No" checked="checked">
<label for="serviceStatus2">No</label>
</fieldset>
<input type='submit' id='submitBtn' value='SUBMIT' />
</form>
//JS
$("#s1").click(function () {
document.getElementById("submitBtn").value = "Yes Clicked";
return false;
});
$("#s2").click(function () {
document.getElementById("submitBtn").value = "No Clicked";
return false;
});

Set radio button value in javascript

I am trying to set the value of the radio button via javascript. But I am not being able to do so. What I tried to do was have 4 radio buttons one of which is already selected. If I select some other radio button and click on Refresh, default radio button should be selected.
http://jsfiddle.net/ds345/Un8XK/1/
HTML:
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="vertical">
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="x" data-theme="a" />
<label for="x" style="color: White">X</label>
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="y" onclick="axisonoff(this)" data-theme="a" />
<label for="y" style="color: White">Y</label>
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="z" data-theme="a" />
<label for="z" >Z</label>
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="none" data-theme="a" />
<label for="none" style="color: White">None</label>
</fieldset>
<button id = "Refresh" value="Refresh">Refresh</button>
JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#none").attr("checked", true).checkboxradio("refresh"); // if this line is not present initially then it works for the 1st refresh.
});
$("#Refresh").click(function(){
$("#x").attr("checked", false).checkboxradio("refresh");
$("#y").attr("checked", false).checkboxradio("refresh");
$("#z").attr("checked", false).checkboxradio("refresh");
$("#none").attr("checked", true).checkboxradio("refresh");
});
I am sure that I have missed something very small but not able to figure out why this approach is not working.

You should use prop over attr when dealing with boolean attributes.
.attr("checked", false) will add checked="false" to your element.In HTML, <input checked="false" .../> is the same as <input checked="true" .../> or simply <input checked .../> as the attribute simply needs to be present on the element for it to be active.
See this JSFiddle example.
Change your code to use .prop() instead:
$("#none").prop("checked", false)...
Here is a fixed version of your JSFiddle demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Un8XK/8/

What you have missed is that there is no need for script. Simply use a form with a reset button:
<form>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="0" checked>0<br>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="1">1<br>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="2">2<br>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="3">3<br>
<input type="reset">
</form>
If you really must use script, you can simply return the radio buttons to their default by adding a button to the form:
<input type="button" onclick="reset(this.form.radio);" value="Script reset">
and a function:
<script>
function reset(els) {
for (var i=0, iLen=els.length; i<iLen; i++) {
els[i].checked = els[i].defaultChecked;
}
}
</script>
