Hi there I’m trying to validation on my form which only has 1 element in it. Simple enough but it took me hours, probably because I’m in a highly pissed state. ```auto ``` It doesn’t work. When I press submit, it passes the code as if it isn’t there. No matter what I put inside the text field, valid or not valid, it doesn’t work. I only have JS experience of less than 24 hours. I’m just trying to get something up and running on my website desperately. Sorry if my question sounds stupid. :eyeup: Anyway, thanks in advance.
