How to Toggle Checkbox with Row Click in JavaScript

In web development, creating interactive tables can greatly enhance user experiences. One common task is the ability to toggle a checkbox whenever a user clicks on a row in a table. This feature can simplify selections and make your web application more intuitive. In this guide, we'll explore how to easily implement this functionality using JavaScript.

The Problem

Many developers face the challenge of needing a checkbox to be toggled based on clicks on the associated table row. Here's a brief overview of the initial scenario:

You have a table where one column contains food items, and another column contains corresponding checkboxes.

The goal is to allow users to check or uncheck a checkbox by clicking anywhere on the respective row (excluding the checkbox itself).

The initial code attempted to use jQuery but struggled to detect clicks on the <tr> rows due to the event only targeting the header row.
