I’m currently working on an HTML project, and I’m encountering a problem with form submission. Despite setting up my form with the necessary attributes and methods, the data doesn’t seem to be passing correctly when the form is submitted. Here’s a simplified version of my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Form Issue</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/submit" method="post">
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" required>
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" required>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>Despite having a straightforward form setup, the data doesn’t seem to be passing correctly to the specified action URL. I’ve reviewed the attributes, checked for typos, but the issue persists.
Attempts and Expectations:
I’ve reviewed the form attributes, ensured the method is set to “post,” and verified that the form elements have the correct names. I expected the data to be sent to the specified action URL upon form submission.
I’ve converted your code into a runnable code snippet and it demonstrably works as expected. Please elaborate on the specific problem you are observing when testing the above code snippet and how specifically you are observing that problem.
The key to your form submission is the attribute
action="/submit". This suggests that you have a route/submitthat is handled by a back-end engine like NodeJS or etc. What is your back-end processing engine and router? Are you using Node/Express? Are you using PHP? Please post the back-end code that receives and processes your form data.
