Hi guys i ran into a problem that i don't understand why, it is very strange or maybe i write the code wrongly so i hope you guys can point out the mistake or enlighten me .
so i was trying to submit a form to my database and before submit the form the validate function will validate the data, if there's an error it will notify the user
when i click submit button the form cannot be submitted and nothing happened, no error in terminal , no error on console , nothing ( it looks like you click on <button> inside a form, while the form is expecting <input type="submit"> to submit the form>
here's the full code https://github.com/johnlim5847/form-test
App.js ( i think nothing wrong in here)

app = express(),

"use strict";
if(err) throw err;
// all environments
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

if ('development' == app.get('env')) {

console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
});
