How Do I Get Form Submit Event Listener To Work In Js?

I am replacing some jquery codes with vanilla js, and I am having trouble with the form submit event listener

.submit() method on the HTMLFormElement:

The submit event fires when the user clicks a submit button ( or <input type="submit">) or presses Enter while editing a field (e.g. <input type="text">) in a form. The event is not sent to the form when calling the form.submit() method directly.

You can use the .requestSubmit() method instead, which does trigger the onsubmit event handler of the form and performs constraint validation on the form:

/* vanilla js replacement */
myForm = document.querySelector("form[name=myForm]")
myForm.querySelector("button").addEventListener('click', function() {
  myForm.requestSubmit();
})

myForm.addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault()
  console.log("Submitting form");
})

<formname="myForm"><inputtype="text"name="name" /><buttontype="button">Click me</button></form>

The main downside to this method is that, unlike jQuery's .submit() method, requestSubmit() has weaker browser support.
