Express Node JS Routing Error

i'm new in NodeJS / Express..

so i created a simple CRUD program, but i get an error, the error is'nt in my query but in my route.

<a href='edit/#{data.id}'>Edit Data</a>

so if i tried to go to edit page, the url is localhost:3000/edit/(id)

my update form like this :

<form action='update-data'>

after submiting the form update, the url supposed to be like this localhost:3000/update-data

but my url like this : localhost:3000/edit/update-data

so the errors show is update-data routes is not defined

how to solve my prblem? thanks

If you want your form submission to go to http://localhost:3000/update-data, then change your form tag from this:

<form action='update-data'>

to this:

<form action='/update-data'>

When you have no leading / or http:// on the URL, it becomes page relative which means the browser uses the path of the current page URL which in your case is localhost:3000/edit so the browser just adds the update-data to that and you ended up with localhost:3000/edit/update-data. Change the form tag as I recommended and the URL will now be domain relative, not page relative so the path of the current page will not be used (only the domain and protocol of the current page will be used).
