表达：单击按钮后的POST请求

Question

I want to insert data at a database table when a button in pressed. So I have the below code in my register.html file

<form action="/send" method="POST">
          <input type="text" name="newID" placeholder="Enter your ID"/>
          <input type="submit" value="Send Data"/>
</form>

Following this post , I have below code in my app.js

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

app.post('/send', function(req, res) {
  var newID = req.body.newID
  console.log(newID)
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/background.html'));
}

Now when I write something in the text box and press the button, the page just moves to localhost:8080/send which shows the contents of background.html. But I don't see the newID value in the javascript console .

What am I missing?

I WAS WRONG THIS IS NODE.JS NOTHING WILL BE PRINTED TO THE BROWSER CONSOLE

   pp.post('/send', function(req, res) {
      var newID = req.body.newID
      console.log(newID)
      res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/background.html'));
    }

This is going to print "newID" to the console and then transfer you to a different page. Not all web browsers store console data when your URL changes. So it could be working but before you can view the console yourself it may be cleaning all the temporary data out to make room for whats coming on the next page. This could answer your question as to why you don't see anything.
