submitBtn.addEventListener("click", (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
const emailPattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$/;
const isValid = emailPattern.test(emailInput.value);
if (!isValid) {
error.style.display = "block";
} else {
error.style.display = "none"; // Hide the error message if email is valid
box.style.display = "none";
// Create and show the message
const message = document.createElement("div");
message.className = "message";
message.innerHTML = `
<div class="message-content">
<img src="./assets/images/icon-success.svg" alt="">
<h1>Thanks for subscribing!</h1>
<p>
A confirmation email has been sent to ${emailInput.value}. Please open
it and click the button inside to confirm your subscription.
</p>
<h2 class="closeBtn">Dismiss message</h2>
</div>`;
// Append the message to the body
document.body.appendChild(message);
// Select the close button from the newly created message element
const closeBtn = message.querySelector(".closeBtn");
closeBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
message.remove();
location.reload(); // Reload the website
});
}
});
