APIs Posting Data with fetch()

Cant get a response to the console when I post using fetch()

As above, can someone check my code it is not working for some reason, thanks.

// ------------------------------------------ // EVENT LISTENERS // ------------------------------------------ select.addEventListener('change', fetchBreedImage); card.addEventListener('click', fetchBreedImage); form.addEventListener('submit', postData);

// --------------------

function postData(e) {s e.preventDefault(); const name = document.getElementById('name').value; const comment = document.getElementById('comment').value; fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/comments', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ name, comment}) }) .then(checkStatus) .then(res => res.json()) .then(data => console.log(data))

}

The unformatted code is a bit hard to read, and I don't have a context for testing it (could you post a link to a workspace snapshot next time?) But one thing caught my eye:

function postData(e) {
    s e.preventDefault();
//  ^
//  what's that letter "s" doing there?

Hello Steven, thanks removing the s sorted it out
