How can I use JavaScript to activate and deactivate a checkbox in Webflow? The code I'm currently using only works when I create a custom checkbox, but I can't figure out how to style it when it's checked.

You can control a Webflow checkbox with JavaScript by toggling its checked property and styling it using Webflow’s built-in interactions or custom CSS. Here’s how:

1. Use JavaScript to Toggle the Checkbox

• Select the checkbox using JavaScript and update its checked attribute.
• Example:
  ```js
  document.getElementById("myCheckbox").checked = true; // Activates checkbox
  document.getElementById("myCheckbox").checked = false; // Deactivates checkbox
  ```

2. Ensure It's Linked to Webflow’s Custom Styling

• Webflow automatically wraps checkboxes inside a styled div (e.g., .w-checkbox).
• When the checkbox is checked, Webflow adds the w--redirected-checked class to the wrapping div.

3. Style the Checked State with CSS

Use CSS to target the Webflow-added class:

.w-checkbox-input.w--redirected-checked {  background-color: #007BFF !important; /* Example: Change color when checked */}

4. Trigger Checkbox Styling via JavaScript

When updating the checkbox with JavaScript, manually trigger the visual change by adding or removing the Webflow class:

const checkbox = document.getElementById("myCheckbox");const wrapper = checkbox.closest('.w-checkbox');checkbox.addEventListener("change", function() {  if (checkbox.checked) {    wrapper.querySelector('.w-checkbox-input').classList.add("w--redirected-checked");  } else {    wrapper.querySelector('.w-checkbox-input').classList.remove("w--redirected-checked");  }});

5. Use Webflow Interactions Instead (Alternative Approach)

• If you prefer no JavaScript, create a Webflow click interaction targeting the .w-checkbox-input div.
• Set a custom class for checked state and toggle it via interactions.

Summary

You can programmatically toggle a checkbox with checkbox.checked = true/false, but Webflow’s styling requires manually adding .w--redirected-checked to .w-checkbox-input. Use JavaScript or Webflow interactions to ensure proper styling updates.
