        document.querySelector("#info").action="nextpage1.html"
    }else{

CodePudding user response：

As Phil suggested above, document.querySelector will look for whatever you have mentioned inside it.

Since you have bt it'll look for the tag <bt>.

So if you wanna select an id bt make sure to use # before the name of the actual id.

or If you wanna select a class, don't forget to use . before the name of the actual class name.

Example:

Selecting with ID - document.querySelector("#bt")
Selecting with ClassName - document.querySelector(".bt")

CodePudding user response：

This error is showing because you must specify that you are selecting what (class/id)
in your code you forgot to put a # before id name

document.querySelector("#bt")

you also can use

document.getElementById("bt")

CodePudding user response：

Use this code: Update 1: In input, changed the id from seconde to second Update 2: In document.querySelector, added # with bt.
