--description--

Now that you've worked on opening and closing the modal, it's time to get the values from the input fields, save them into the taskData array, and display them on the page.

To start, add a submit event listener to your taskForm element and pass in e as the parameter of your arrow function. Inside the curly braces, use the preventDefault() method to stop the browser from refreshing the page after submitting the form.

--hints--

You should call the addEventListener() method on your taskForm variable.

js
assert.match(code, /taskForm\.addEventListener\(/)

Your event listener should listen for a submit event.

js
assert.match(code, /taskForm\.addEventListener\(\s*('|"|`)submit\1/)

You should use arrow syntax to set your event listener to an empty pair of curly braces with e as the parameter.

js
assert.match(code, /taskForm\.addEventListener\(\s*('|"|`)submit\1\s*,\s*(\(\s*e\s*\)|e)\s*=>\s*\{/)

You should use the e.preventDefault() method to stop the browser from reloading the page.

js
assert.match(code, /taskForm\.addEventListener\(\s*('|"|`)submit\1\s*,\s*(\(\s*e\s*\)|e)\s*=>\s*\{\s*e\.preventDefault\(\s*\)\s*;?\s*\}\s*\)\s*;?/)
