I'm trying to add data in dictionary through form using post method. But it's not working. form is working with get method but not post. I read many similar posts but could'nt understand so posting here. Please help me to locate the problem and solve it.

Python Code

@app.route('/add_card',methods=["GET","POST"])
def add_card():
    if request.method == "POST":
        card = {"question": request.form['question'],
                "answer": request.form['answer']}
        db.append(card)
        return redirect(url_for('card_view',index=len(db)-1))

    else:
        return render_template("add_card.html")

Form code: 

 <form methods=" POST">
        <p>
            Question:
            <input type="text" name="=question">
        </p>
        <p>
            Answer:
            <input type="text" name="'answer">
        </p>
        <button type="submit">
            Create
        </button>
    </form>

Replace:

<form methods=" POST">

with:

<form method="POST">

You have an extra s, making the form use GET to submit.

As an aside, if you have many forms in your app, Flask-WTF may become handy.

<form action="{{ url_for('add_card') }}" method="post">
     <p>
        Question:
        <input type="text" name="question">
    </p>
    <p>
        Answer:
        <input type="text" name="answer">
    </p>
    <button type="submit">
        Create
    </button>
</form>

Use <form method="POST"> Instead of <form methods="POST"> .

Its better use url-binding https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/quickstart/#url-building
