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. I don't know what to do here.
const form = document.querySelector('form');
const submitButton = form.querySelector('[type=Submit]');
submitButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
});
<!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>

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 15,874 PointsThis was the right code. Took me a while trying to alter it after I kept getting the error message: "you did not use event handler on form"
const form = document.querySelector('form');
const submitButton = form.querySelector('[type=Submit]');
form.addEventListener('submit', () => {
});

form.addEventListener('submit', () => {
You're adding the event listener to the form element instead of the submit button, and changing the event from 'click' to 'submit'.
