Im hoping someone could supply me the proper SHAREPOINT SYNTAX to use in JQUERY code to check what the value of a SHAREPPOIINT CHOICE TYPE field.

I thought I needed to check a checkbox type field so I started with:

 if ($("input[title$='Phone Data Collection']").is(':checked'))

...and looked for a change event with...

 $("input[title$='Phone Data Collection']").click(function()

{

    //If checkbox is checked then hide the fields

    if (this.checked)

But now that I know it is a SHAREPOINT CHOICE TYPE field I'm a little lost. I'm not returning the SHAREPOINT CHOICE TYPE field value and I don't know who to trigger the SHAREPOINT CHOICE TYPE field change event. Please help...

    Just because this is in SharePoint, doesn't mean it doesn't behave like normal html/javascript. Because of that fact, the question is not a SharePoint question, but one regarding javascript/jQuery, and is therefore off-topic. Use F12 to bring up developer tools, and you should be able to figure this out yourself.

The below will return you the current value of the select field:

$("select[title$='Phone Data Collection']").val()

To put it as part of your logic you would do:

if ( $("select[title$='Phone Data Collection']").val() =='SOME VALUE')

  • Will this capture the event like: $("input[title$='Phone Data Collection']").click(function()

  • What I mean is that I'm not triggering that function where I check to see the value of the choice. the function should run when the choice radio button is clicked, right?

  • Thank you Ankit but I'm still getting undefined for the value. $(document).ready(function() { alert('onload'); alert ('pdc is ' + $("select[title$='Phone Data Collection']").val()) //Hides /Shows Fields on load? if ( $("[title='Phone Data Collection']").val() =='Yes') { alert('inside show for phone');
