Bootstrap 5 Modal not closing on button click with jQuery
I'm working with an scenario with a Bootstrap 5 modal that doesn't close when I click the button inside it. I'm using jQuery to handle the button click event, but it seems like the modal stays open even after the button is clicked. Here's the relevant part of my code: ```html <!-- Button trigger modal --> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#exampleModal"> Launch demo modal </button> <!-- Modal --> <div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" 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"> ...Content... </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" id="confirmButton">Save changes</button> </div> </div> </div> </div> ``` ```javascript $(document).ready(function() { $('#confirmButton').on('click', function() { console.log('Button clicked'); // Attempting to close the modal $('#exampleModal').modal('hide'); }); }); ``` When I click the `#confirmButton`, I can see the console log message, but the modal does not close. I have included the Bootstrap JS and jQuery files correctly, so I'm unsure what the scenario could be. Here are the versions of the libraries I'm using: - Bootstrap 5.3.0 - jQuery 3.6.0 Additionally, I checked for any console errors, but there are none. I've also tried using different methods to close the modal, like `data-bs-dismiss="modal"` on the button, but it doesn’t seem to work as expected either. What could be going wrong here?
