I'm not sure if this possible but probably is fairly simple.
I've made a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/WTSWP/1/ or the kind of situation I'm in.
I've got multiple radio inputs, each contained by a div/li, and what the containing element to select the radio button when clicked.
I'm using jQuery to so if anyone has ideas using jquery that would be great thanks.
I started this but isn't working right.
$(".select-area").click(function() {
$(this).find('input').trigger('click');
});
<li class="select-area">
<input type="radio" name="colour" value="black">
</li>
