Persisting form data after post expressjs

Question

I have an Express.js application and I would like to know how I can persist form data (text area) after a post request without using AJAX .

I hope I am not vague. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The default value of a textarea is the child text node inside it. Copy the data into there, and put it in the response you make to the submission request:

<textarea name="foo">HTML escaped copy of the previously submitted foo</textarea>
