Creating Log in page to gather data sample

document.getElementById('loginForm').addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault(); // Prevent form submission for demo purposes
    const username = document.getElementById('username').value;
    const password = document.getElementById('password').value;

    // Here you would typically send the data to your server for authentication
    console.log('Username:', username);
    console.log('Password:', password);

    // For demonstration, just alert the user
    alert('Login attempted for: ' + username);
});

Please explain in your own words the issue you are having.

I’ve edited your post to improve the readability of the code. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
