Express，Node，MongoDB，EJS-删除路由器并返回304

Question

I have been struggling with this for awhile and just cant get it figured out. My delete button is sending the server a GET /delete? and returning a 304

This is also my first post here and i di try and figure this out for a few hours first... but i am new to programming in general and would appreciate any guides or help you can offer - thanks!

I have 3 files at play here: addpost.js, addpost.ejs, and app.js

This is in addpost.js

 router.delete('/delete', function (req, res){ Comment.findById(req._id, function (err, Comment){ console.log('DELETE removing ID: ' + comments._id) res.format({ html: function(){ res.redirect('/'); }, json: function(){ res.json({message: 'deleted', title : comments}); } }); }); }); 

This is in app.js

app.use('/delete', addpost)

This is in addpost.ejs

  <div class ="form">
    <form method="delete" action="/delete">
      <div class="delete">
        <button class="btn btn-raised btn-warning" type="submit">Delete</Button>
    </form>
  </div>

If the form is sending the GET request, then it probably means it doesnt support DELETE method. I think its supported since html5, but ... maybe it has partial support. Use POST instead.
