Answer 1

there are two problem's in my code first is console log just remove it for snippet . then it's work fine second the major problem which i forgot to write is css file (question is updated now) my designer put my check box to

display none

which cause the hole mess just remove and every then work magically in place of display none use this:

opacity: 0;position: absolute;

hope it will work for you guys too

Answer 2

To do this you have to use the :checked selector. refer following code:

$('#form1').submit(function() {
    if $('input:radio', this).is(':checked') {
    } else {
        alert('Please agree to terms and conditions!');
        return false;
    }
});
