response.writeHead(200,{"Content-Type":"text/plain"});

You've told the browser that you are sending it plain text, so it is rendering the document as plain text.

If you are sending HTML, then say it is HTML.

Content-Type: text/html

That's because of the Content-Type you've given.

response.writeHead(200,{"Content-Type":"text/plain"});

It's text/plain which means browser will render the response as PLAIN TEXT instead of HTML.

What you need to do is set Valid content type to render the response as HTML.

For HTML correct Content Type is text/html. So your code would look something like this,

response.writeHead(200,{"Content-Type":"text/html"});
