Submit Button didn't do anything-CodePudding

Here I'm trying to make a QnA website. So here is the HTML code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <title>Questions</title>
</head>

<body>
  <h1>Questions</h1>
  <form action="result.html" method="post" target="_blank" onsubmit='event.preventDefault() ;sendForm1("ask-question")' name="ask-question">
    <h3>Ask a Question</h3>
    <!--Adds textarea field to write a question-->
    <textarea name="ask-question" rows=5 cols=25 id="your-question">Why do you want to draw art?</textarea><br>
    <!--Submit button to send question to email and redirects to result.html without opening an email inbox. The problem is I have no idea how to make it send to my email.-->
    <input type=submit value=Ask name=ask>
  </form>
  <a href="/">Go back home</a>
  <br>
  <p>No Questions available yet!</p>
  <h2>Be the First to ask!</h2>
  <h3>Type the question in the text box then click Ask</h3><a href="faq.html">or go to FAQ</a>
</body>

</html>

Here i put some meanings about the code and you'll find out most problems but the main problem is I can't get the Submit button to work. Or some it just reloads the website. Here is the preview of the code. Click to view Code html Preview How can I fix this?

The code isn't working because you are using onsubmit = event.preventDefault() which prevents the default behaviour of form submission. That's why you are not getting redirected to the result.html page. Remove the event.preventDefault() and this should be working

CodePudding user response：

I may or may not know, but I think it's missing a slash on this part: <textarea .../>

and you could add in and then the

I don't know I could be wrong
