Why does my checkbox will be checked even though I clicked outside the checkbox.

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

form.addEventListener('submit', (e) =>{ e.preventDefault(); const text = input.value; input.value = ''; const ul = document.getElementById('invitedList'); 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); ul.appendChild(li);

});

Here is my code.

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

form.addEventListener('submit', (e) =>{
  e.preventDefault();
  const text = input.value;
  input.value = '';
  const ul = document.getElementById('invitedList');
  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);
  ul.appendChild(li);

});

If I'm not mistaken it looks like checkbox.type = 'checkbox'; is attached to the entire form. I'm still learning to so I might be mistaken but I that looks odd to me you might want to check out part out. I hope this helps :)

I haven't been able to notice any mistakes, and I'm almost certain there aren't any. Make sure you saved your code and reloaded your live server so that your live server is operating on the newest version, it should work fine after that. Reply if it doesn't and I'll see what I can do.
