Alter the event handler

Alter the event handler on line 4 to run when the form is submitted, not just when the submit button has been clicked. Leave the callback function empty for now.

const form = document.querySelector('form'); const submitButton = form.querySelector('[type=Submit]');

submitButton.addEventListener('click', () => {

});

app.js
const form = document.querySelector('form');
const submitButton = form.querySelector('[type=Submit]');

submitButton.addEventListener('click', () => {

});
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Submit Event</title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
  <label>Name:</label>
  <input type="text" name="name">
  <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Hi Prerna

Change the event handler to form and from click to submit.

Hope it helped

Still, I am blank. Can you please write the code.

const form = document.querySelector('form');
const submitButton = form.querySelector('[type=Submit]');

form.addEventListener('submit', () => {

});

:)

So this targets the form when it "submits" rather than the submit button when it is clicked.
