Nothing happens when I move tasks from one status to another

At 6:10 in the video, we see that to-do tasks marked completed go to completed list. When we click a completed task to move it back to the to-do list, nothing happens. I see the teacher fixing that, but I don't understand why its not happening without the fix. Please explain.

Wait...I answered my own question. Brain fart moment there.

  1. The code binds the event handler taskIncomplete to the checkbox of each completed task.
  2. When the checkbox of a completed task is unchecked, taskIncomplete is triggered and moves the completed task to incomplete group. Note that the checkbox of the moved task is still bound to taskIncomplete which will keep moving it to the incomplete group upon clicking its checkbox.

So, taskIncomplete must not only move a completed task to incomplete group, but it must also make it possible for the task to be changed from incomplete status to complete.To do this, taskIncomplete must bind the checkbox of the moved task to taskCompleted. Code to be added to taskIncomplete is bindTaskEvents(listItem, taskcompleted);
