Answer 1

Not really sure about your current setup but you might want to restructure your express app a little. You need to define a view engine and use

res.render('someview', dataObject);

http://expressjs.com/en/api.html#res.render

with ejs:

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');  

route:

app.get('/', function(req, res) {  
  res.render('index', { title: 'The index page!' })
});

html:

  
    <%= title %>
