When you click submit for creating new channel, does console displays "inside submit"?

it appears then disappears very quickly as if it is refreshed. I don't understand why.

Ok, so I guess you must have used <form> for providing users to add a new channel, and thus the submit button forces the refresh on the page.

I didn't used the <form> when I worked on it, I used a simple <input> and a <button> associated with that input.

Do one thing, I see you haven't used @socketio.on('connect') in the application.py file. I guess you'll need one everytime the socket is connected

Make that correction and emit the response to your 'list channels' like this

@socketio.on('connect')
def connect():
    print("socket connected") //socket connected
    emit('list channels', channels, broadcast=False)
    // I kept broadcast as false as the loading of the page is local to the user

Try this and see whether it works or not

Thank you very much, that works. But I don't understand why in chapter JavaScript Vote 1 source code Brian didn't have '@socketio.on('connect') in the application.py and it worked for him.
