Bootstrap modal form validation implementing jQuery in Bootstrap 5
Could someone explain I'm a bit lost with I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working with an scenario with form validation inside a Bootstrap modal using jQuery. The modal contains a form that should validate fields before submission. However, even when the fields are filled correctly, the form fails to submit, and I get a console behavior: `Uncaught TypeError: want to read properties of null (reading 'submit')`. I've tried ensuring that all input fields have the correct `required` attributes, but it doesn't seem to solve the scenario. Here's what my modal and form look like: ```html <div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title</h5> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <form id="myForm"> <div class="mb-3"> <label for="inputName" class="form-label">Name</label> <input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputName" required> </div> <div class="mb-3"> <label for="inputEmail" class="form-label">Email</label> <input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" required> </div> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button> </form> </div> </div> </div> </div> ``` And here’s the jQuery code I'm using to handle the form submission: ```javascript $(document).ready(function() { $('#myForm').on('submit', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); // Prevent default form submission if (this.checkValidity()) { // If the form is valid, try to submit this.submit(); } else { // Show validation errors $(this).addClass('was-validated'); } }); }); ``` I suspect the scenario might be related to how the modal handles the form submission or the timing of the jQuery validation. I've checked that jQuery and Bootstrap scripts are loaded correctly, and the modal is shown properly before I try to submit the form. Any insights or suggestions on how to debug this or get the form to submit correctly would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a API that needs to handle this. Thanks, I really appreciate it! I'm working in a macOS environment. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
