Twitter Bootstrap onclick event on buttons-radio

Question

I have a Twitter Bootstrap buttons-radio and hook an onclick event to it. But how do I check which of the buttons that got triggered?

My first thought was to simply check for the class 'active', but this should create a race condition (result depends on whether the Twitter Bootstrap event or my own onclick event is handled first).

Answer 1

This is a really annoying one. What I ended up using is this:

First, create a group of simple buttons with no data-toggle attribute.

<div id="selector" class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn active">Day</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn">Week</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn">Month</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn">Year</button>
</div>

Next, write an event handler that simulates the radio button effect by 'activating' the clicked one and 'deactivating' all other buttons. (EDIT: Integrated Nick's cleaner version from the comments.)

$('#selector button').click(function() {
    $(this).addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');

    // TODO: insert whatever you want to do with $(this) here
});
