When I check the checkbox, it hides the li correctly, but when I uncheck, the items are not displayed back again.

My code is exactly equal to Guil's (or I think it is).

filterCheckbox.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
    const isChecked = event.target.checked;
    const lis = ul.children;
    if (isChecked) {
        for (let i = 0; i < lis.length; i += 1) {
            let li = lis[i];
            if (li.className === 'responded') {
                li.style.display = '';
            }
            else {
                li.style.display = 'none';
            }
        }
    } else {
        for (let i = 0; i < lis.length; i += 1) {
            let li = lis[i];
            li.style.display = '';
        }
    }

});

Why is it not working properly? Am I missing something?

You have filterCheckbox.addEventListener twice in your code. The second one doesn't have an else statement but should be deleted anyways.

You may have to post more code - or better yet a snapshot. I tried your code and it worked. It's not exactly the same in that the B in Box of filterCheckBox is uppercase, but that would have produced a different error. Is there anything in the console and can you post a snapshot?

I have the same problem. hides everything correctly and then it does not work after the first click. I does not show any error on the console.
