here app.js

var http     = require('http'), express  = require('express'), routes   = require('./routes'), userlist = require('./routes/list'), path     = require('path'),  app     = express();  app.set('port', process.env.prot || 3000); app.set('views', __dirname + '/views'); app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); app.use(app.router);  app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'static')));   app.get('/', routes.list); app.get('/addlist', userlist.addlist); app.post('/addlist', function(req, res){     var name = req.params.name;     var dept = req.params.dept;      console.log(name, dept);//getting undefined why? });  http.createserver(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){     console.log('successfuly initiated!'); }); 

updated form , app.js

form:

<form method="post" role="form" class="form-horizontal" action="/addlist">         <div class="form-group">             <label for="name"><input id='name' name='name' placeholder='enter name' type="text" ></label>             <label for="dept"><input id='dept' name='dept' placeholder='enter department here' type="text"></label>             <p><input type='submit' class="btn btn-default" id='submit' value='submit details'/></p>         <div> 

app.js

var http     = require('http'), express  = require('express'), routes   = require('./routes'), userlist = require('./routes/list'), path     = require('path'),  app     = express();  app.set('port', process.env.prot || 3000); app.set('views', __dirname + '/views'); app.set('view engine', 'ejs');   app.use(app.router);  app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'static'))); app.use(express.bodyparser()); //newly added app.use(express.urlencoded()); //newly added  app.get('/', routes.list); app.get('/addlist', userlist.addlist); app.post('/addlist', function(req, res){     var name = req.body.name;     var dept = req.body.dept;      console.log(name, dept);  });  http.createserver(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){     console.log('successfuly initiated!'); }); 

your form missing action="/addlist" attribute

also since posting method post values on body

var name = req.body.name; var dept = req.body.dept; 

for values appear in body add middleware

app.use(express.bodyparser()); app.use(express.urlencoded()); 

app.use(app.router) should last thing call.
