Jquery Passing checkbox values

Question

Im trying to get the selected value of a 2 radio options (1 & 2)

and pass it into a auto complete extraParams: value

so far i have this

extraParams: { search_option: $('input[name=search_option]:checked').val() },

problem is if the radio is changes the value is not updated.

Any ideas as how i can do this

Thanks

You need to specify a callback to a function otherwise that value is locked into the autocomplete when you initialize the plugin.

extraParams: {
         search_option : function() { 
                return $('input[name=search_option]:checked').val(); 
         }
}
