<p>given this javascript code </p>

<pre><code>var radio_buttons = $('.search-options input[type="radio"]');
</code></pre>

<p>I want to get only the checked radio button from the collection of radio buttons that the variable holds. I thought that the find method could help achieving that, but it doesn't.</p>

<pre><code>radio_buttons.find('input[checked]')
</code></pre>

<p>Any other way to do it?</p>
