Your answer has a limitation. When the checkbox is checked or unchecked at least once by the end user, i.e not programmatically, it stops working, the same checkbox can no longer be checked or unchecked programmatically by setting this attribute. I've just tested under Mozilla Firefox 94.0.2 and Microsoft Edge 96.0.1054.43. However, document.getElementById('checkbox').checked = true and document.getElementById('checkbox').checked = false work as expected (but don't trigger a change event as stated in many posts).
