  Hello Well done!

  it's because you have to check if the value of the input is empty

  if (inputText.value.length > 1) not if (inputText !== null) here is checking if the variable inputText exits and has a different value of null, and not inputText's value

  I hope it helps you, Good coding 🤟

  Hello Vodina Efem !

  Congratulation for finishing this project

  Let's break things to see what's going wrong !

  You start by getting the content of your input -> OK

  In your function :

  • You created a variable which check if it is a valid email -> OK
  • Then, you made a condition to see if the content of the input is not null, and that's where the problem occur !

  You used the operator !==, which means that it returns true if the input is different of null

  More info can be found on the topic here :

  • Strict inequality Javascript

  That's mean, if the user doesn't add anything, and click the button, the input field is not null, maybe it is an empty string or an object, and if that's the case, it's different of null, and consider the condition is true. It may be an other reason, maybe you can add a default value by default of null ?

  Also, a little tips : when something doesn't work as wanted, don't hesitate to do debugging by checking the value of the variable, by adding console.log() to check if it does what you want. Sometimes, you can check your browser web console by pressing F12, where errors can appear if something's wrong.

  I hope it makes sense, that's it's helping you to understand what was wrong, the thought process while giving you ideas how to solve it

  Hey vodina, good job! I think there is a problem with inputText as it is a dom object you can't write this inputText !== null and it never equals to null so it is always true.

  const inputText = document.getElementById('email-text').value; //now this contains the 
  value not any object 
  

  Try this.. I hope this will work, happy coding ✌️.
