Bootstrap 5 Modal not closing when clicking outside - how to fix?
I'm confused about I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm currently using Bootstrap 5 for a project and I've implemented a modal that should close when clicking outside of it, but it doesn't seem to work. I followed the Bootstrap documentation closely, but I'm still having issues. The modal opens correctly and the close button inside the modal works, but clicking outside the modal does nothing. I'm using the following HTML structure: ```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"> Modal body content here. </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button> </div> </div> </div> </div> ``` I also ensure that I have included the Bootstrap JavaScript and CSS files correctly. ```html <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script> ``` I checked if the modal is properly initialized with the following JavaScript: ```javascript $(document).ready(function() { $('#myModal').modal({ backdrop: true, keyboard: true }); }); ``` However, despite these configurations, the modal does not close when I click outside of it. I’ve even tried different configurations for the backdrop option, but nothing seems to work. I appreciate any help on this issue. Is there a specific setting I might be overlooking, or is there a known conflict with other scripts I might not be aware of? Is there a better approach? Any ideas what could be causing this? The project is a REST API built with Html. I'm open to any suggestions.
