Textarea value not getting posted with form
(12 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I want to get value using post method in node.js using body-parser. But I always get undefined.
Below is my node.js code.
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var urlencodedParser = bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false });
app.get('/form', function (req, res) {
html += "<form action='/thank' method='post' name='form1'>";
html += "<div id='divParent'>";
html += "<div id='div1' name='formset' class='formset'>";
html += "<p>Name: <input type= 'text' name='name'></p>";
html += "<p>Sex: Male <input type='radio' class='gender' name='gender' value='male'>"
html += " Female <input type='radio' class='gender' name='gender' value='female'></p>"
html += "<p>Email: <input type='text' name='email'></p>";
html += "<p>Address:<input type='text' name='address'></p>";
html += "<p>Mobile number:<input type='text' name='mobilno'></p>";
html += "<p>Note:</p>"
html += '<textarea rows="4" cols="50" name="note" id="note" form="form1"></textarea>';
html += "</div>";
html += "</div>";
html += "<input id='input1' type='submit' value='submit'>";
html += "<INPUT type='reset' value='reset'>";
html += "</form>";
...
}
app.post('/thank', urlencodedParser, function (req, res){
var reply='';
reply += "<br>Array length is : " + req.body.name.length;
reply += "<br>Your name is : " + req.body.name;
reply += "<br>Sex is : " + req.body.gender;
reply += "<br>Your E-mail id is : " + req.body.email;
reply += "<br>Your address is : " + req.body.address;
reply += "<br>Your mobile number is : " + req.body.mobilno;
reply += "<br>Your note is : "+ req.body.note;
console.log(req.body)
res.send(reply);
});
I can get the input value, but not textarea value.
Here's what I get when I console.log(req.body)
{ name: 'Roy',
gender: 'male',
email: 'roy#topscore.com',
address: 'Bali',
mobilno: '0821' }
Why body-parser can't get req.body.note? What's the problem?

I think the textarea is not really part of the form since you do not have a form with id "form1". Either remove the form attribute from the textarea or add the attribute id to the form.
