The following HTML file shows how you can do this:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/155977/jquery-1.2.6.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(event){
$("input[name="Foo"][value="All"]").attr('checked','checked');
event.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><input type="radio" value="All" name="Foo" />All</li>
<li><input type="radio" value="New" name="Foo" />New</li>
<li><input type="radio" value="Removed" name="Foo" />Removed</li>
<li><input type="radio" value="Updated" name="Foo" />Updated</li>
</ul>
<a href="" >Click here</a>
</body>
</html>
When you click on the link, the desired radio button is selected. The important line is the one setting the checked
attribute.
