const form = document.querySelector('form');
const submitButton = form.querySelector('[type=Submit]');
form.addEventListener('submit', () => {
});
You're adding the EventListener to the form element instead of the submit button, also you need submit and not click.

When posting code, always format using the instructions in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up, found below the "Add an Answer" area

172,140 PointsYou need to make two changes to how this event listener is attached.
First, you would want to attach the listener to the form itself instead of the button. Then, you would want to change the event type (the first argument to addEventListener) from "click" to "submit".
Also, it looks like you already have code added for task 2. Did you pass task 1 already somehow?
But your task 2 code isn't quite right. You have the right idea in calling preventDefault, but it should be applied to the event object (e) instead of the form.

form.addEventListener(submit, (e) => {
form.preventDefault(); // this line is preventing submit
});

12,042 PointsAlter 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]');
form.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
const text = input.value;
input.value = '';
});
