This doesn't make sense. Presumably your querying your database on the server *which has no access to the DOM* of the client?! — Andrew Li, Dec 13 '18 at 06:35

By Default Nodejs is not designed to read DOM

$('#state').html(html); // jquery virtual DOM

if you wanna read DOM using node then you have to install DOM parser.

For more info: Why doesn't Node.js have a native DOM?
