How to validate a javascript validation with radio and checkbox button?

On a webshop, I need to check if the user has checked this payment choice, and if he checked the CGU rules.

So this my html :

    <div id="choixPaiement">
      <div class="choixDuReglement">
        <ul>
            <li><input type="radio" name="buttonModePaiement" value="tata"></li>
            <li><input type="radio" name="buttonModePaiement" value="toto"></li>
            <li><input type="radio" name="buttonModePaiement" value="titi"></li>
            <li><input type="radio" name="buttonModePaiement" value="tutu"></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
      <div id="accepte_cgv">
        <p> <input type="checkbox" name="check_cgv" id="check_cgv"><label>Lu et approuvé</label></p>
        <p><a onclick="validCommande();" class="btnValidCommande" href="javascript:;"><span>Valid my order</span></a></p>
      </div>
    </div>

And this is my javascript :

function validCommande(){
  var paiement = $("input[@name=buttonModePaiement]:checked").val();
  alert(paiement);
  if(paiement == "undefined"){
    alert('please choose payment method');    
  }
  alert($('#check_cgv').is(':checked'));

}

when radiobutton and checkbox are not checked, I get two alert message : "undefined" and "false" (so that is correct).

But when I'm checking the checkbox, and no radiobutton, I get it : "on" and "true".

Why ?

if u want to validate the radio button the do this way

<form name="as" method="post" action="n.php">
<input type="radio" id="x1"   name="red">
<input type="radio"  id="x2"   name="red">
<input type="radio"   id="x3"  name="red">
<input type="radio"   id="x4"  name="red">

<input type="submit" value="button" onclick="return xyz()">
</form>

    function xyz()
{
    var x = document.getElementsByName("red");
    for (var i=0; i<x.length; i++)
    {
        if (x[i].checked) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    // No radio button checked, return false.
    alert("hello");
    return false;
}

Here is what I would do to your code and why:

<div id="choixPaiement">
      <div class="choixDuReglement">
        <ul>
            <li><input type="radio" class="buttonModePaiement" value="tata"></li>
            <li><input type="radio" class="buttonModePaiement" value="toto"></li>
            <li><input type="radio" class="buttonModePaiement" value="titi"></li>
            <li><input type="radio" class="buttonModePaiement" value="tutu"></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
      <div id="accepte_cgv">
        <p> <input type="checkbox" name="check_cgv" id="check_cgv"><label>Lu et approuvé</label></p>
        <p><a id="btnValidCommande" href="#"><span>Valid my order</span></a></p>
      </div>
</div>

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#btnValidCommande').click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();  // stop the link from trying to navigate
        validCommande();
    });
});

function validCommande() {
    var paiement = $(".buttonModePaiement:checked").val();

    if (!paiement) {
        alert('please choose payment method');
    }
    alert($('#check_cgv').is(':checked'));
}

  • Use classes when repeating identifiers, not names. Names are supposed to be unique for things like form submission. name="buttonModePaiement" should be class="buttonModePaiement".

  • Append your events in JS code, not inline. Notice I removed the onclick="validCommande();" from your link and append it in the DOM ready event.

  • You don't need to (nor should you) compare against "undefined". This will suffice (paiement == "undefined") ---> (!paiement)

I think this is what you want

function validCommande() {
    var paiement = $("input[name='buttonModePaiement']:checked");

    if(paiement.length === 0)
      alert('please choose payment method');    
    else
      alert(paiement.val());

    alert($('#check_cgv').is(':checked'));
}

Also, you're not closing your input tags:

<input type="radio" name="buttonModePaiement" value="tata" />
