Let me know if you want to format this for a stand-up report, email, or task tracker update.

Got it! You don’t want to hide the modal after success—instead, you want to:

1. Show the loader on form submission.

2. Keep the modal open.

3. After success:

   • Show a success toaster message.

   • Keep the loader visible briefly.

   • Then hide the loader.

   • Optionally redirect after a delay.

Here's how to update your code:

✅ Updated Script

javascript
CopyEdit
$(".needs-validation").on('submit', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $(this).addClass('was-validated');

    if (this.checkValidity() === false) {
        event.stopPropagation();
        return false;
    }

    showLoader();
    $('#submitButton').prop('disabled', true);

    var form = this;
    var formData = new FormData(form);

    $.ajax({
        url: $(form).attr('action'),
        type: 'POST',
        data: formData,
        processData: false,
        contentType: false,
        success: function(response) {
            if (response.code == 0) {
                // Keep modal open – don't hide it
                // Show success message after short delay
                setTimeout(function() {
                    showToaster("success", response.msg);
                }, 500);

                // Then hide loader and optionally redirect
                setTimeout(function() {
                    hideLoader();

                    // Optional: redirect after another short delay
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        window.location.href = $('#successURL').val();
                    }, 1000); // Adjust or remove if no redirect needed
                }, 1500); // Total loader visible time ~2s
            } else {
                hideLoader();
                showToaster("error", 'Something went wrong. Please try again!');
                $('#submitButton').prop('disabled', false);
            }
        },
        error: function(xhr, status, error) {
            hideLoader();
            showToaster("error", 'Something went wrong. Please try again!');
            $('#submitButton').prop('disabled', false);
        }
        // No loader hiding in `complete` – it's manually handled above
    });
});

✅ Key Differences

• No modal hide ($('#loginModal').modal('hide') is removed).

• Loader stays during toast display.

• Redirect occurs after loader and toast (optional).

Let me know if you also want to disable the modal's close button during the loader phase.

Thanks for the clarification! Since the loader is not appearing on top of the popup, the issue is likely with:

1. Z-index — the loader is behind the modal.

2. Positioning — the loader may not be inside the correct container.

3. DOM rendering — the loader may not be appended properly when modal is active.

✅ Let's fix it step-by-step:

✅ 1. Ensure Your Loader HTML Is Outside the Modal and High Z-Index

Place your loader outside of modals, near the bottom of body, like this:

html
CopyEdit
<!-- Loader (Global) -->
<div id="globalLoader" style="display: none; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; 
    width: 100%; height: 100%; background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); 
    z-index: 9999; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;">
    <div class="spinner-border text-primary" role="status">
        <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
    </div>
</div>

✅ 2. Update Your Loader Functions

javascript
CopyEdit
function showLoader() {
    $('#globalLoader').fadeIn();
}

function hideLoader() {
    $('#globalLoader').fadeOut();
}

✅ 3. Keep Your Modal Open on Success

Update your success logic to keep the modal open, like this:

javascript
CopyEdit
$(".needs-validation").on('submit', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $(this).addClass('was-validated');

    if (this.checkValidity() === false) {
        event.stopPropagation();
        return false;
    }

    showLoader();
    $('#submitButton').prop('disabled', true);

    var form = this;
    var formData = new FormData(form);

    $.ajax({
        url: $(form).attr('action'),
        type: 'POST',
        data: formData,
        processData: false,
        contentType: false,
        success: function(response) {
            if (response.code == 0) {
                // Keep modal open, just show toaster and loader
                setTimeout(function () {
                    showToaster("success", response.msg);
                }, 500);

                // Hide loader after 1.5s
                setTimeout(function () {
                    hideLoader();
                    $('#submitButton').prop('disabled', false);

                    // Optional redirect
                    setTimeout(function () {
                        window.location.href = $('#successURL').val();
                    }, 1000);
                }, 2000);
            } else {
                hideLoader();
                showToaster("error", 'Something went wrong. Please try again!');
                $('#submitButton').prop('disabled', false);
            }
        },
        error: function(xhr, status, error) {
            hideLoader();
            showToaster("error", 'Something went wrong. Please try again!');
            $('#submitButton').prop('disabled', false);
        }
    });
});

✅ Result

• Loader overlays the entire page, including modal.

• Modal stays open.

• Toast shows success.

• Loader hides after a delay.

If you're using Bootstrap 5 or any other custom modal design, let me know — I’ll tailor the loader style accordingly.

Thanks for the screenshot. Since your loader is appearing behind the modal, the issue is related to the z-index layering in your CSS.

✅ Solution: Ensure Loader Appears Above the Modal

Update your loader HTML and CSS as follows:

🔧 1. Loader HTML

Place this just before the closing </body> tag (outside modals):

html
CopyEdit
<!-- Global Loader -->
<div id="globalLoader" style="display: none;">
    <div class="loader-overlay">
        <div class="spinner-border text-primary" role="status">
            <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

🎨 2. Loader CSS

Add this to your CSS or <style> section:

css
CopyEdit
.loader-overlay {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100vw;
    height: 100vh;
    background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    z-index: 99999; /* higher than modal's z-index */
}

Make sure z-index is greater than Bootstrap’s modal (default is 1050).

⚙️ 3. JS Functions

javascript
CopyEdit
function showLoader() {
    $('#globalLoader').fadeIn();
}

function hideLoader() {
    $('#globalLoader').fadeOut();
}

✅ Result

When showLoader() is triggered:

• Loader appears on top of the modal.

• Modal stays visible if needed.

• You can control hide timing with setTimeout.

Let me know if you're using Bootstrap 4 or 5 — I’ll adjust z-index based on that.

Thanks for clarifying — you want to keep your current loader implementation, but make sure it appears on top of the modal when showLoader() is called.

Here’s how you can fix this directly in your existing setup, without adding new loader HTML:

✅ Step 1: Check Your Loader Element

Find the existing loader element you are calling with showLoader(), e.g.:

html
CopyEdit
<div id="loader" style="display:none;"></div>

If you already have this, add or update its CSS:

🎨 Step 2: Apply High Z-Index and Fixed Position

Update the CSS for #loader:

css
CopyEdit
#loader {
    position: fixed; /* Make it overlay the whole page */
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100vw;
    height: 100vh;
    background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); /* Optional: semi-transparent bg */
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    z-index: 9999; /* Must be higher than modal (Bootstrap uses 1050) */
}

✅ Step 3: Make Sure showLoader() Shows That Element

In your JS, you probably already have:

javascript
CopyEdit
function showLoader() {
    $('#loader').fadeIn();
}

function hideLoader() {
    $('#loader').fadeOut();
}

If not, define it this way.

✅ Optional: Spinner Inside Loader

If you want a spinner in the center of the loader:

html
CopyEdit
<div id="loader" style="display: none;">
    <div class="spinner-border text-primary" role="status">
        <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
    </div>
</div>

Summary:

• Keep your current code.

• Just make sure your #loader has:

  • position: fixed

  • z-index: 9999 or more

• No need to move the modal or loader in the DOM.

• Don't hide the modal if you want loader above it.
