How to read a button click event in electron js?

Question

I have an electron js application which loads www.example.com website in a windowless chromium browser. Am trying to capture the Submit button click event from the page like below

document.getElementById('submit').addEventListener('click', () => {
  console.log('Button Clicked'))
}

but its throwing an error even before page loads. Please suggest any alternate approach to capture the button click event.

No this for HTML created by us. In my scenario am launching a different website I don't have the control over the DOM. — Sanjay VK, Aug 16 '21 at 06:11

You have missplaced bracket, it should be like this:

document.getElementById('submit').addEventListener('click', () => {
    console.log('Button Clicked')
});
