934 PointsAm getting this error - You didn't use addEventListener on the form - though am using button with Submit value
how to addEventListener on the form?
const form = document.querySelector('form');
const submitButton = form.querySelector('[type=Submit]');
submitButton.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Submit Event</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="registrar">
<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name">
<button type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

You need to change the code on line 4 to be the form, not just the button, and to function on submit, not click.
form.addEventListener('submit', () => { //change to form and submit
});
