How to show hidden pseudo-element with JavaScript

I'm using CSS to hide form elements:

#main_form #form-field-email, #form-field-realtor_select { display: none;}
#main_form .elementor-select-wrapper::before { display: none; }

Then JavaScript to show them with:

document.getElementById("form-field-first_name").onclick = function(){
document.getElementById('form-field-email').style.display = 'block';
document.getElementById('form-field-realtor_select').style.display = 'block';

The problem is with the pseudo-element .elementor-select-wrapper::before which is needed to hide the down arrow in the select element. I need to get the arrow to display using the JavaScript onclick event. I tried document.getElementsByClassName() but that did not work.

You can see the test page here: Test Page. Click First Name or Last Name to reveal fields (more than listed above) and you'll see the down arrow is mission from the select element.

So, it's not possible to select a pseudo element directly, but you can create a set of CSS styles like the following, which will change the ::before element using a "toggleable" class on the parent:

#main_form .elementor-select-wrapper::before {
    display: none;
}

#main_form .elementor-select-wrapper.show-chevron::before {
    display: block;
}

When you add (or remove) the .show-chevron class to .elementor-select-wrapper, it should toggle the ::before element.

document.getElementsByClassName('elementor-select-wrapper')[0].classList.add('show-chevron')

Let me know if this works! If not, I can take another look
