If this is a re-post of an already existing. I looked a bunch of different issue already posted about this but didn't feel any matched my issue. If there is one please link it.
I'm trying to learn AJAX and have a form that takes two inputs a serverName, and a isLive. As well as a button to add a server to the list. I already made a json file that has two servers in it and when I GET info from it to update the list it lists the server's serverName and isLive fine. When I go to POST information all I get back when the list is updated is undefined.
Using console logs I know that the information is being passed from the form to Object to be sent by AJAX and that it seems to trigger the success function, but when I look there is nothing added to the Json and it says the fields are undefined.
