what am i doing wrong. I've done what the example shows and it still isn't showing up in the console.
const form = document.getElementById('registrar');
const input = form.querySelector('input');
form.addEventListener('submit',(e) => {
e.preventDefault();
console.log(input.value);
}

Courses Plus Student 14,540 Pointsthat was it. they don't have the app.js file linked in the html page.

Courses Plus Student 14,540 Pointsokay , so i investigated the html page and it seems that it does not come with the link to the javascript file. i'm going to try and hook that up and see if it works then .

const form = document.getElementById('registrar');
const input = form.querySelector('input');
form.addEventListener('submit',(e) => {
e.preventDefault();
console.log(input.value);
});

Courses Plus Student 14,540 Pointsoh yeah, no..i'm sorry that is the fault of my . bad copy and pasting effort. they are actually already closed properly..

34,055 PointsI see you added a screenshot there but it's not displaying. Does anything happen in the console when you hit the submit button? I copied and pasted your code into my Workspace and it worked fine.

Courses Plus Student 14,540 Pointsnothing happens in the console. I tried using the debugger in the dev tools and its not showing as anything being wrong. let me try and upload my screen shot again. example link That should link you to my screen shot of the http responses I was getting back

34,055 PointsIt does seem odd. Unless someone else has insight, I'd probably need to fork the workspace to see what's going on.
