Check Radio based on label text

Question

I have the following HTML:

<input type="radio" value="213490" id="lt_1133041_213490" name="lt_1133041[]">
<label for="lt_1133041_213490">LH License</label>
<input type="radio" value="213491" id="lt_1133041_213491" name="lt_1133041[]">
<label for="lt_1133041_213491">PC License</label>

What I need to do is to be able to check the radio based on the label text, so if I pass "LH License" it will check id lt_1133041_213490, if I pass "PC License", it will check id lt_1133041_213491.

Not sure exactly how to do that.

Answer 1

id = $("label:contains("+label_text+")").attr('for');
$('#' + id).prop('checked', true);

Answer 2

Are you looking for something like this? See fiddle .

function checkRadio(text){
    $('#'+$('label:contains('+text+')').attr('for')).attr('checked', 'checked');  
}

checkRadio('LH License');

This creates a function that when passed a string will check the appropriate radio button.

Answer 3

function checkRadio( text){
    $('input:radio').filter(function(){
      return $(this).next('label').text()==text;
    }).prop('checked', true);\

}

To use function:

checkRadio( 'LH License');

Answer 4

This works perfectly.

var _radio = $("label:contains('LH License')").attr("for");
i = $("#" + _radio).attr('id');
