JS loads before HTML So JS couldn't find any #addForm element in addEventListener(which returns null) Use Onload event //Remove preventDefault();😅😂 https://code.sololearn.com/WdSHu72jocSw/?ref=app

Ginfio it's not working for me, it throws an error in console. I want to add something in the Dom I was just testing is the function works by printing in the console.

I really don't think this makes it work, (just switched things.) https://code.sololearn.com/WAz4m6oAdAvZ/?ref=app I don't know what preventDefault means, you might try removing and adding somethings i guess. I really don't know y, cuz it works on mine.
