Overview
This code snippet demonstrates how to add a radio button on a web page using Guarana UI components. The radio button component looks like this:
You can download the component library from Guarana UI: a jQuery-Based UI Library for Nokia WRT.

Source: JavaScript
var RADIO_BUTTONS = 3;
var radiobuttons = [];
Nokia.use("optiongroup", "radiobox", init);
// Initialises the widget
function init() {
var optionGroup = new Nokia.OptionGroup({
element: "#optiongroup",
title: "Option Group"
});
for (var i = 0; i < RADIO_BUTTONS; i++) {
radiobuttons[i] = new Nokia.RadioBox({
element: "#radio" + i,
label: "Radio " + (i + 1)
});
// Add the radio button to the option group
optionGroup.addItem(radiobuttons[i]);
}
// Check the first radio button
radiobuttons[0].check();
}
The radio button should be added into an option group (class Nokia.OptionGroup) so that only one of the radio buttons belonging to a group can be selected at a time.
To find out whether the radio button has been checked, use the isChecked() method:
// Shows which radio button is checked.
function executeSnippet() {
for (var i = 0; i < radiobuttons.length; i++) {
if (radiobuttons[i].isChecked()) {
displayNote("Checked radio button: #" + (i + 1));
return;
}
}
}
