html - Jquery If radio button is checked

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Check of specific radio button is checked

I have these 2 radio buttons at the moment so that the user can decide whether they need postage included in the price or not:

<input type="radio" id="postageyes" name="postage" value="Yes" /> Yes
<input type="radio" id="postageno" name="postage" value="No" /> No

I need to use Jquery to check if the 'yes' radio button is checked, and if it is, do an append function. Could someone tell me how I'd do this please?

Thanks for any help

edit:

I've updated my code to this, but it's not working. Am I doing something wrong?

<script type='text/javascript'>
// <![CDATA[
jQuery(document).ready(function(){

$('input:radio[name="postage"]').change(function(){
    if($(this).val() == 'Yes'){
       alert("test");
    }
});

});

// ]]>
</script>

Answer 1

$('input:radio[name="postage"]').change(
    function(){
        if ($(this).is(':checked') && $(this).val() == 'Yes') {
            // append goes here
        }
    });

Or, the above - again - using a little less superfluous jQuery:

$('input:radio[name="postage"]').change(
    function(){
        if (this.checked && this.value == 'Yes') {
            // note that, as per comments, the 'changed'
            // <input> will *always* be checked, as the change
            // event only fires on checking an <input>, not
            // on un-checking it.
            // append goes here
        }
    });

Revised (improved-some) jQuery:

// defines a div element with the text "You're appendin'!"
// assigns that div to the variable 'appended'
var appended = $('<div />').text("You're appendin'!");

// assigns the 'id' of "appended" to the 'appended' element
appended.id = 'appended';

// 1. selects '<input type="radio" />' elements with the 'name' attribute of 'postage'
// 2. assigns the onChange/onchange event handler
$('input:radio[name="postage"]').change(
    function(){

        // checks that the clicked radio button is the one of value 'Yes'
        // the value of the element is the one that's checked (as noted by @shef in comments)
        if ($(this).val() == 'Yes') {

            // appends the 'appended' element to the 'body' tag
            $(appended).appendTo('body');
        }
        else {

            // if it's the 'No' button removes the 'appended' element.
            $(appended).remove();
        }
    });

var appended = $('<div />').text("You're appendin'!");
appended.id = 'appended';
$('input:radio[name="postage"]').change(function() {
  if ($(this).val() == 'Yes') {
    $(appended).appendTo('body');
  } else {
    $(appended).remove();
  }
});
