Designer who is trying to learn javascript, so I'm making a basic app that calculates tax and a 20% tip for a bill. Right now, I'm just trying to get the total with tax to display. The answer is there when I console.log() it, and it appears for a second and then disappears.
const subTotal = document.getElementById('subtotal');
const submit = document.getElementById('form-submit');
const taxes = document.getElementById('taxes');
const totalAmount = document.getElementById('total-amount');
submit.addEventListener('click', calculate);
function calculate(e) {
let subby = subTotal.value;
let taxTotal = subby * (1 + 0.07);
console.log(taxTotal);
//doesn't work at all
//taxes.textContent = taxTotal;
//works temporarily
taxes.value = taxTotal;

Appreciate any help.
