Hi there, I am having problems with making the checkbox unobtrusive. My added attributes are canceled out too. Did I do something wrong here?
Here is a link to a snapshot of my workspace: https://w.trhou.se/5ftn1bu3zd
Thank you.

231,236 PointsThe code on line 11 has a syntax error. Literal quote marks inside a string must be a different type from the ones used to enclose the string, or they must be escaped by a backslash:
// as in the video:
const $pdfCheckbox = $('<label><input type="checkbox"> Allow PDF downloads</label>');
// OR this would also work:
const $pdfCheckbox = $('<label><input type=\'checkbox\'> Allow PDF downloads</label>');
