How can I use JavaScript to activate and deactivate a checkbox in Webflow? The code I'm currently using only works when I create a custom checkbox, but I can't figure out how to style it when it's checked.

To activate and deactivate a checkbox in Webflow using JavaScript, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Add an HTML checkbox element to your Webflow project. Give it an id attribute so that you can select it using JavaScript.

```html

```

Step 2: Create a CSS class for the checked state of the checkbox. You can define the styles you want to apply to the checkbox when it's checked.

```css
.checked-checkbox {
/* Add your custom styles here */
}
```

Step 3: Add the JavaScript code to activate and deactivate the checkbox. Select the checkbox element using its id, and use the `addEventListener` method to listen for the `change` event. In the event listener, check if the checkbox is checked or not, and add or remove the CSS class accordingly.

```javascript
const checkbox = document.getElementById("myCheckbox");

checkbox.addEventListener("change", function () {
if (this.checked) {
this.classList.add("checked-checkbox");
} else {
this.classList.remove("checked-checkbox");
}
});
```

In the above code, when the checkbox is checked, the CSS class `checked-checkbox` is added to it. When the checkbox is unchecked, the CSS class is removed.

Step 4: Customize the styles of the checkbox by targeting the `checked-checkbox` class in the Webflow Designer. You can select the checkbox element and navigate to the Style panel to add specific styles for the checked state.

By following these steps, you should be able to activate and deactivate a checkbox in Webflow using JavaScript and also style it when it's checked.
