HTML and Javascript empty form validation is not working

This code isn't working. If email and password are empty, display "Please enter your email and password." If just email is empty, display "Please enter your email." If just password is empty, display "Please enter your password." If none are empty, display no error message. That is the functionality behind this code, however.. it isn't working. What's happening? Code:

   <script type='text/javascript'>
    
    var loginEmail = document.getElementById('ema');
    var loginPassword = document.getElementById('pswd');
    var loginBtn = document.getElementById('loginBtn');
    var loginError = document.getElementById('loginError');
    
    loginBtn.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      if(loginEmail.value === "" || loginPassword.value === "") {
        loginError.style.visibility = 'visible';
        loginError.innerText = "Please enter your email and password.";
      } else if (loginEmail.value === "" && loginPassword.value.length > 0) {
        loginError.style.visibility = 'visible';
        loginError.innerText = "Please enter your email.";
      } else if (loginPassword.value === "" && loginEmail.value.length > 0) {
        loginError.style.visibility = 'visible';
        loginError.innerText = "Please enter your password.";
      } else {
        loginError.style.visibility = 'hidden';
      }
    });
    
    </script>

loginPassword.value not loginPassword

you need to use e.preventDefault() because if you click button it will render and for getting text value you have to use loginEmail.value not loginEmail

var loginEmail = document.getElementById('ema');
    var loginPassword = document.getElementById('pswd');
    var loginBtn = document.getElementById('loginBtn');
    var loginError = document.getElementById('loginError');
    
    loginBtn.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
      if(loginEmail.value === "" && loginPassword.value === "") {
        e.preventDefault()
        loginError.style.visibility = 'visible';
        loginError.innerText = "Please enter your email/password.";
      } else {
        loginError.style.visibility = 'hidden';
      }
    });
