I understand his solution, but I'm wanted some insight as to why my solution isn't working.
I handled the majority of the logic in Pug, and the only thing not working is when I include the "?" in the code (inlcuded below), everything after it disappears when the request is made. When I omit it, the url renders completely, but without the "?". So I end up with an error because it's not included in the url. What am I missing?
if side === 'question'
form(action= `${id}?side=answer` method='get')
button(type='submit') Answer
else
form(action= `${id}?side=question` method='get')
button(type='submit') Question
