只是对马克·比克做了一点点修改;

HTML代码

<form name="frm1" action="" method="post">
  <input type="radio" name="gender" id="gender_Male" value="Male" />
  <input type="radio" name="gender" id="gender_Female" value="Female" / >
  <input type="button" value="test"  onclick="check1();"/>
</form>

和Javascript代码来检查单选按钮是否被选中

<script type="text/javascript">
    function check1() {            
        var radio_check_val = "";
        for (i = 0; i < document.getElementsByName('gender').length; i++) {
            if (document.getElementsByName('gender')[i].checked) {
                alert("this radio button was clicked: " + document.getElementsByName('gender')[i].value);
                radio_check_val = document.getElementsByName('gender')[i].value;        
            }        
        }
        if (radio_check_val === "")
        {
            alert("please select radio button");
        }        
    }
</script>

if(document.querySelectorAll('input[type="radio"][name="name_of_radio"]:checked').length < 1)

只是试图改进Russ Cam的解决方案与一些CSS选择器糖扔在香草JavaScript。

var radios = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="radio"]:checked');
var value = radios.length>0? radios[0].value: null;

这里不需要jQuery, querySelectorAll现在已经得到了足够广泛的支持。

编辑:修正了一个css选择器的错误，我已经包括了引号，虽然你可以省略它们，在某些情况下你不能这样做，所以最好把它们留在。

返回单选按钮中所有选中的元素

  Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("className")).filter(x=>x['checked']);

我只是想确保一些东西被选中(使用jQuery):

// html
<input name="gender" type="radio" value="M" /> Male <input name="gender" type="radio" value="F" /> Female

// gender (required)
var gender_check = $('input:radio[name=gender]:checked').val();
if ( !gender_check ) {
    alert("Please select your gender.");
    return false;
}

HTML:

<label class="block"><input type="radio" name="calculation" value="add">+</label>
<label class="block"><input type="radio" name="calculation" value="sub">-</label>
<label class="block"><input type="radio" name="calculation" value="mul">*</label>
<label class="block"><input type="radio" name="calculation" value="div">/</label>

<p id="result"></p>

JAVAScript:

var options = document.getElementsByName("calculation");

for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
    if (options[i].checked) {
        // do whatever you want with the checked radio
        var calc = options[i].value;
        }
    }
    if(typeof calc == "undefined"){
        document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = " select the operation you want to perform";
        return false;
}
