How to create label and check box dynamically in JavaScript?

To create label and check box dynamically in JavaScript, we can use the createElement method.

For instance, we write:

const newLabel = document.createElement("label");
newLabel.setAttribute("for", 'checkbox');
newLabel.innerHTML = "Here goes the text";

const newCheckbox = document.createElement("input");
newCheckbox.setAttribute("type", 'checkbox');
newCheckbox.setAttribute("id", 'checkbox');

document.body.appendChild(newLabel);
document.body.appendChild(newCheckbox);

We call document.createElement to create a label.

Then we call setAttribute to set the for attribute to checkbox.

And we set the innerHTML property to add some text to the label.

Next, we call createElement again to create an input.

Next, we call setAttribute to set the type attribute to checkbox to make it a checkbox.

We call the same method to set the id attribute.

Finally, we call document.body.appendChild to append them both to the body element.
