How do I use a checkbox within my WordPress website?

I have made a toggle switch and I would like to integrate it into my site but I am unsure how to do this. I am using the plugin bbPress on my WordPress site and would like for the user of the website to be able to click the toggle switch when leaving a comment and then for their input to be displayed on their comment.
Here is the HTML for the toggle switch:
`
<!-- ____[TOGGLE BUTTON]____ -->
<div class="toggle">
<!-- ____[OUTER BOX WITH BORDER LINE]____ -->
<div class="toggle__box">
<!-- ____[INPUT WITHOUT VISIBILITY LINKED WITH LABEL]____ -->
<input type="checkbox" id="toggle-check">
<!-- ____[TOGGLE LABEL FOR INPUT]____ -->
<label for="toggle-check" class="toggle__label">
<!-- ____[TOGGLE THUMB ICON]____ -->
<div class="toggle__thumb">
<img src= <?php get_image_for_slider(); ?> >
</div>
<!-- ____[TEXT OF TOGGLE]____ -->
<div class="toggle__text--green">BULLISH</div>
<div class="toggle__text--red">BEARISH</div>
</label>
</div>
</div>
`
and then here is the CSS for this button:
*,
*::before,
*::after {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
.toggle {
width: 100%;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
;
}
.toggle input {
display: none;
opacity: 0;
}
.toggle__box {
width: 13rem;
height: 4rem;
border-radius: 100px;
border: 1px solid #707070;

}

}
.toggle #toggle-check:checked+label .toggle__thumb {

opacity: 1;

}
.toggle #toggle-check:checked+label .toggle__text--green {

}`
Is there some way to link a variable to this switch/checkbox and so when the user clicks it I can use that to display something to the screen - as mentioned above? I have tried using isset($_POST["name"] but that didn't seem to work. I have also seen that maybe adding an event listener in JavaScript could work but I am not sure how to code in Java so any help would be great!
Many Thanks

You should be able to solve this using JS. Just insert this JS and then put what every you want in the function.
document.getElementById("toggle-check").addEventListener("click", funct1);
function funct1() {
/* you can put what ever function or thing you want to happen when you click the box here!*/
document.getElementById('p').innerHTML = "When you click the box this text will show up!";
}

how do I stop invisible elements from being triggered when "overlay" div is not active

When I'm using flexbox to align the items inside the overlay div, everything is working fine how it's supposed to except the anchor tags that are being triggered without even having to open the menu and the tags are invisible but clickable just beside the menu, how do I fix it without having to change the style of the menu or overlay? Any help is appreciated. Cheers!

Reverse animation on hamburger button

I'm trying to animate a hamburger button. The problem is that the animation works great only for the first click, and I do not know how to make the second click do the reverse animation. I'm not sure if this can be done without using keyframes. Ps. brackets in css are not formatted because its compiled from scss.
var hamburger = document.getElementById("hamburger");
var nav_items = document.getElementsByClassName("nav-items")[0];
var line1 = document.getElementsByClassName("line1")[0];
var line2 = document.getElementsByClassName("line2")[0];
var line3 = document.getElementsByClassName("line3")[0];
hamburger.addEventListener("click", function() {
nav_items.classList.toggle("nav-open");
line1.classList.toggle("first-line");
line2.classList.toggle("middle-line-hidden");
line3.classList.toggle("last-line");
});

The most easy way is to assign in the css the animation to a class, for example .openedhamburger with the opening animation.
Now create other animation assigned to other class, for example .closedhamburger, with the closing animation.
Finally switch the class asigned to the element with javascript and there it is, whenever a different class is assigned, the proper animation will be triggered.
Edit: also, albeit in your case use a two step animation, so this is not applicable, know that using this class-approach, if you enable smooth transitions, then sometimes you can even do it without any animation: simply associate the positions and rotations for the elements on the two states and then because smooth transformations are enabled, animation will ocur.

How to reset hamburger menu icon back to unopened after link inside of menu is clicked?

So I decided to animate my hamburger menu, which was previously unanimated, so this problem was irrelevant to begin with.
The animation starts as a standard hamburger style menu which has several links to different areas of the homepage. When clicked, I animated the menu to turn from a hamburger to an x, indicating to visitors that they can close the menu by clicking on the x. I ran into a problem though, after clicking on a link within the hamburger menu, the icon does not reset from an x back to the hamburger, and that messes up how the menu is opened on the second time. If a visitor were to open it again, the x would turn into the hamburger when the x is clicked on, and it wouldn't make any sense.
Anyways, I'm just wondering if there's a way I could make it so that when a link in the menu gets clicked on, the x returns to its unopened hamburger form. Here's my code:
var links = document.querySelectorAll('.menu a');
var linksLength = links.length
for(var i = 0; i < linksLength; i++) {
links[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
document.getElementById('toggle').checked = false;
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.icon').click(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('open');
});
});

Simply add this click handler inside of the $(document).ready() function to remove the open CSS class from the hamburger icon when one of the menu links is clicked:
$('.menu a').click(function() {
$('.icon').removeClass('open');
});

You can do this by PURE CSS also
.navigation__checkbox {
display: none
}
.navigation__button {
height: 7rem;
width: 7rem;
position: fixed;
top: 1rem;
left: 1rem;
border-radius: 50%;

text-align: center;
cursor: pointer
}

position: relative;
margin-top: 3.5rem;
user-select: none;
}

Putting all distinct pages in one page

Is that how professionals do it? All the content in one file, I need to do a school project; I can use javascript to hide and show the content. For ex. I am having an about and contact page so using javascript I'll switch through it (display block and none) but I want the transition to have an animation specifically slide, so how will I do it?

Here an example everything that has values can be animatet
.animation {
position: relative;
display: initial;
padding: 20px;
float: left;
clear: both;
}
.animation:after {
content: "";
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
background: blue;
transition: 0.4s;
position: absolute;
right: -20px;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
.fail:after {
display: none;
}
.fail:hover:after {
display: block;
}
.success:after {
height: 0;
width: 0;
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(-50%) rotate(0deg);
display: block;
}
.success:hover:after {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(-50%) rotate(360deg);
display: block;
}
<div class="animation fail">Failing to animate</div>
<div class="animation success">Animatet</div>
