Here's part of the code from my app.js file...
js
html form.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const text = input.value;
input.value = '';
const li = document.createElement('li');
const span = document.createElement('span');
span.textContent = text;
li.appendChild(span);
const label = document.createElement("label");
label.textContent = 'Confirmed';
const checkbox = document.createElement("input");
checkbox.type = "checkbox";
label.appendChild(checkbox);
li.textContent = text;
ul.appendChild(li);
li.appendChild(label);
li.appendChild(span);
const editbutton = document.createElement("button");
editbutton.textContent = 'edit';
li.appendChild(editbutton);
const removeButton = document.createElement("button");
removeButton.textContent = 'remove';
li.appendChild(removeButton);
});
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.textContent==='remove'){
const li = e.target.parentNode;
const ul = li.parentNode;
ul.removeChild(li);
} else if(e.target.textContent==='edit'){
const span = li.firstElementChild;
const input= document.createElement('input');
input.type='text';
input.value=span.textContent;
li.insertBefore(input, span);
li.removeChild(span);
button.textContent='save';
}
});

9,899 PointsThanks Stephen Parker , I've formatted the entirety of my post to hopefully make it clearer to read.

And that "snapshot" would help a lot by providing the rest of the code and an environment for a complete analysis.

243,318 PointsSince you're sharing only part of the code, I'd guess you have a compelling reason to suspect the problem is in this part. Please explain the behavior of the code that led you to isolate this section.
And sharing the entire project might still be useful to facilitate observing the issue firsthand. If you're using a workspace, you can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
Also, when quoting code for markdown, the triple backticks must be on lines by themselves (or with the language name for syntax coloring). And for proper coloring for this script, use "js" instead of "html".
