How do I check a checkbox that was added via JavaScript?

Question

I want to check a checkbox that was added to the web page via JavaScript but the element is not in the webbrowser.document, how can I achieve this?

I think you have a tag that shouldn't be there. `c#` – Max Oct 18 '15 at 00:34 — Max, Oct 18 '15 at 00:34

You must bind your events on an element that exist when the binding is run. To add an event to a dynamic element, use the .on() functionality in javascript, like the following:

$(document).on("click", "#selector", function(e){
  // Do stuff
});

I also answered this question, but mine was not as good as this answer so I deleted it. This guy's got it right. – Craig Burton Oct 18 '15 at 00:46
basically I've tried to use getelementbyid but this does not find the element even after the page has loaded and the element I am looking for is not in the html source of the webpage. – Matt Oct 18 '15 at 12:39
