that shouldn't matter

<form id="myform" action="file_name.php">
<input type="text" name="test" value="testing" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById('myform').addEventListener("submit", (e) => e.preventDefault());
</script>

<form id="myform" action="file_name.php">
<input type="text" name="test" value="testing" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById('myform').addEventListener("submit", (e) => e.preventDefault());
</script>

that should prevent the form submitting
