Hello everyone,

I am pretty new to all this but I am trying to make a simple webpage with html and css, now I am in the point where I want to save some data taken from html form to xml (or JSON) file. I installed mongoose and I have a url for my files. I suppose I have to see a change in the file item.xml but this isn't happening. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance

The code I have is:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  <script src="login.js"></script>
  <title>Login</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <form id="loginform">
  <div>
  <p id="insertinfo">Type your info to log in your account:</p>
  <label for="Username">Username:</label>
  <input type="text" id="username" placeholder="Type your username"/>
  </div>
  <div>
  <label for="password">Type password:</label>
  <input type="text" id="password" placeholder="Type your password"/>
  </div>
  <div class="loginButton">
  <input type="submit" value="Log in" id="loginbutton" onClick = "callServer()" />
  </div>
  </body>
  </html>

and the javascript file:

JavaScript

function callServer(){
	
	
	var username = document.getElementById("username").value;
	var password = document.getElementById("password").value;
	var xmlString =  "<profile>" + 
							"<username>" + escape(username) +"</username>" + 
							"<password>" + escape(password) +"</password>" +							
							"</profile>";
// Build the URL to connect to
var url = "http://localhost:8080/item.xml";
// Open a connection to the server
xmlHttp.open("POST", url, true);
// Tell the server you're sending it XML
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
// Set up a function for the server to run when it's done
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = confirmUpdate;
// Send the request
xmlHttp.send(xmlString);

}
