I found a workaround for this by passing the ID of the element when I
click on it and then setting checked to true.

This only worked if:

1. I set the value of the checked attribute to false when I created the input
2. I looped through the inputs after they were attached to the parent
element to find the one with the value that matched what I clicked on

I did that this morning with a test page and saw the outerHTML output.
Thanks for that tip. You can look at the test page, with comments on
the code and solutions here:

I actually found that yesterday and took what it says into account
while I developed my solution.
