I'm still relatively new to React/Javascript & working with its functions. I created a component that takes user input and renders a button that allows a user to link to an outside URL. The button title is created by the user and then the URL is added. However, when a url is pasted or I begin typing it, the onChange handler automatically creates the button without using the onSubmit function. So if I begin typing a paste a url (even if the data is wrong), the onChange event takes whatever I've input without allowing me to click "submit first". I'm following this tutorial as a guideline for creating my onChange/onSubmit functions: [this video] . His demo does not have the same issue and his input
