HTML List (Li) change via Javascript onClick

I have a list that looks like that, so the user should check the item one by one and get a feedback the item is checked or not.

<html>
<head>
    <link href="../../fuctions/style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="../../fuctions/cordova-2.3.0.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="../../fuctions/functions.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="topbar">

        <br /><br />
        <a class="noeffect" href="#" onClick="openXYZDE();">XYZ</a>
    </div>
</body>

I want to check via JavaScript whether one of the "li" is checked, if so it should change that line to "green".

<li class="radiobutton">
  <span class="name">Toe Brakes -<font color="green"> hold</font></span>
  <input name="1" type="radio" value="other" />
</li>

If jquery is an option, it becomes pretty simple.

function checkChanges()
{
  $('.radiobutton font').attr('color', 'red');

  $('.radiobutton :checked').closest('.radiobutton').find('font').attr('color', 'green');
}

$(function()
{
  checkChanges();
  $('.radiobutton :radio').on('click', checkChanges);
});

Although I HIGHLY recommend removing the font tag and instead add a class to the li, such as radiobutton-checked which sets the font color to green.

The ab ove code will reset all fonts to red, then find the one radio button with a checked radio inside it, iterate back up to the parent radiobutton (closest) and then find its child font tag and set its color to green. Then anytime a radio button gets clicked, it repeats the above process, thus keeping only the actively checked radio button green.
