‘FormData’: parameter 1 is not of type ‘HTMLFormElement’, I am getting this error but i can’t fix it help pls

“your text`const authForm = useRef();
const handleSubmit = (e) => {

e.preventDefault();

//formData
let form = new FormData(authForm.current);
console.log(form)

}

This is the code of the form just to show you i did add the ref for authForm

            <form ref={authForm} className="w-[80%] max-w-[400px]">....</form>

I did try adding an id on the form and using the document.getElementbyID it still didnt work so help me pls.
I am not fully aware about the reason behind the error still so it would be appreciated if anyone can explain it as well.`
