Email Validation Form with Vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Hello Mentee's,
This project is more challenging than I initially thought.
I did not succeed in implementing the customized error message "Please provide a valid email address" for when an invalid emailaddress has been entered. Instead I get a standard pop-up error message. Does any of you know how to make the customized error message work?
// This tells the browser to pay attention to the following elements: const form = document.getElementById("form"); // This tells the browser to prevent the form from submitting by default: form.addEventListener("submit", (e) => { e.preventDefault(); const email = document.getElementById("email"); const small = form.querySelector("small"); // The value attribute sets the specified value of the input element: const inputEmail = form["email"].value; if (!inputEmail) { // When the field is left empty, do this: email.classList.add("error"); small.innerText = "Whoops! It looks like you forgot to add your email"; small.style.display = "inline-block"; } else if (!isValidEmail(inputEmail)) { // When the input is invalid, do this: email.classList.add("error"); small.innerText = "Please provide a valid email address"; small.style.display = "inline-block"; } else { // When the input is valid, do this: email.classList.remove("error"); small.innerText = ""; small.style.display = "none"; } }); // REGEX = Regular Expression function isValidEmail(email) { var re = /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/; return re.test(String(email).toLowerCase()); }
