I'm encountering an issue with a button labeled Sign Up that is supposed to load content in the form of a Modal from another file. Initially, when I click the button for the first time, everything works smoothly without any errors or warnings. However, after dismissing the modal by clicking elsewhere, clicking the Sign Up button again still triggers the script, but this time it throws a console error saying
$(...).modal(...).find(...).load(...).load() method by updating the jQuery version, but now I'm at a loss as to why this error is occurring.
Additionally, when the modal is displayed, the rest of the page is darkened (the normal behavior of a modal). However, if I try to close the modal using the button in the header, the modal disappears but the rest of the page remains darkened or out of focus, rendering it uninteractive...
I've posted this as a separate question because of the distinct nature of the issues: Bootstrap Modal messes up Carousel CSS
Any solutions to rectify these problems?
Here's the HTML file:
<!-- NavBar -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Land Power</a>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home<span class="sr-only"></span></a>
</li>
<!-- <li class="nav-item ">
<a class="nav-link" href="contact.html">Contact Us<span class="sr-only"></span></a>
</li> -->
</ul>
</div>
<div class="d-flex justify-content-end">
<button class="signup btn btn-outline-success my-2 my-sm-0" type="button" linkFile="contact.html" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#theModal">Sign Up</button>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="theModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalCenterTitle" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Sign Up</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here's the script for loading modal content:
<script>
$('.signup').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('.modal').modal('show').find('.modal-body').load($(this).attr('linkFile'));
});
</script>
