Sanity Check failed- Form validation

JavaScript
1

So I’m making a website for my dad and I’m adding form validation and when I submit the for my event listener gets called. Here is the code:

const handleFormSubmit = (e) => {
    console.log(formSubmit);
    e.preventDefault();
    return false;
};

Losing sanity, help would be appreciated.

the log gets outputted, but the submission is not cancelled.
