List element isn't removed.

Only the button and checkbox are getting removed, not the name.

const form = document.getElementById('registrar');
const input = form.querySelector('input');
const ul = document.getElementById('invitedList');

form.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  const text = input.value;
  input.value = '';
  const li = document.createElement('li');
  li.textContent = text;
  const label = document.createElement('label');
  label.textContent = 'Confirmed';
  const checkbox = document.createElement('input');
  checkbox.type = 'checkbox';
  label.appendChild(checkbox);
  li.appendChild(label);
  const button = document.createElement('button');
  button.textContent = 'remove';
  label.appendChild(button);
  ul.appendChild(li);
});

ul.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
  const checkbox = event.target;
  const checked = checkbox.checked;
  const listItem = checkbox.parentNode.parentNode;

  if (checked) {
   listItem.className = 'responded'; 
  } else{
    listItem.className = '';
  }
});

ul.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
 if (e.target.tagName === 'BUTTON') {
  const li = e.target.parentNode;
  const ul = li.parentNode;
  ul.removeChild(li);
 } 
});

Hi Torian, you're to append the 'button' element to the 'li' element and not the 'label' element like you did:

 const button = document.createElement('button');
  button.textContent = 'remove';
  label.appendChild(button);
  ul.appendChild(li);

It should be like this:

 const button = document.createElement('button');
  button.textContent = 'remove';
  li.appendChild(button);
  ul.appendChild(li);

This way the 'remove' button will delete the checkbox, button and the name. The 'li' element contains the name.
