I am having a issue with HTML and jQuery programming. I am making a bulletin board with HTML and jQuery, with 2 textboxes and a button.
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('save').click(function() {
const name = $('name').val();
const words = $('words').val();
$.post(
"http://localhost:8000/board_write",
{
name: words
},
function(data, status) {
}
)
});
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td class="vert" bgcolor="">
Name
</td>
<td>
<input class="name">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="">
Anything you'd like to say
</td>
<td>
<textarea class="words" cols="40" rows="5" placeholder="please enter anything">
</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input class="save" type="button" onclick="write()" value="Save">
</td>
</tr>
</table>And, I also coded with jQuery to send the data of the two textboxes to localhost:8000, which is a node.js server to log the data to the console. When I click the button, the page vanishes. What causes the situation? And, how can I solve the problem?

Answer
You have onclick = "document.write()"; that explicitly deletes the document . https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_doc_write.asp
Explanation: the code in onclick is scoped such: {window{document{element{}}}}; if you meant to implement a write() function, do so and invoke it by window.write(), or name it something differently to document.write. Otherwise, write() will de resolved to document.write().
