Checkbox symbol for a to do list in Javascript

I'm trying to create a to-do list application in JavaScript. Using HTML and CSS, I've created a checkmark button. The problem is that the checkmark button doesn't display when adding a new task, but the task is added. Can someone explain to me what's wrong and how it should be done?

I can not understand if my problem is from HTML or CSS or JavaScript.

Code Snippet

let userinput = [];

function task() {
  const inputText = document.getElementById("inputbutton").value;

  // Check if inputText already exists in userinput array
  if (userinput.includes(inputText)) {
    alert("Already added");
    return; // Exit function early if inputText already exists
  }


  userinput.push(inputText);

  let tasklist = document.getElementById("tasklist");
  let listItem = document.createElement("li");
  listItem.textContent = inputText;
  tasklist.appendChild(listItem);

}

/*
I also tried this:
   let checkmarks = document.querySelectorAll('.container .checkmark');
    checkmarks.forEach(checkmark => {
        checkmark.style.display = 'block';
    });

Solution

  • A todo list is a classic, and also this technique for duplicating templates. Just copy the html and set the innerHTML of the target.

    let userinput = [];


function task() {
  const inputText = document.getElementById("inputbutton").value;

  // Check if inputText already exists in userinput array
  if (userinput.includes(inputText)) {
    alert("Already added");
    return; // Exit function early if inputText already exists
  }

  var html = document.querySelector("#myTaskTemplate").innerHTML

  userinput.push(inputText);

  let tasklist = document.getElementById("tasklist");
  let listItem = document.createElement("li");
  // listItem.textContent = inputText;
  listItem.innerHTML = html
  
  // after applying html, you can adjust elements or attach events
  listItem.querySelector(".checkmark").textContent = inputText

  tasklist.appendChild(listItem);

}

   let checkmarks = document.querySelectorAll('.container .checkmark');
    checkmarks.forEach(checkmark => {
        checkmark.style.display = 'block';
    });
