Data retrieved via Ajax is displayed under the bootstrap modal containing the input field

I am adding address lookup functionality to a form displayed in a bootstrap modal. The data is being retrieved via an Ajax call using JQuery. This is in an Asp.Net6 Razor pages web application.
The expected behavior is for the display to look like this (so the user can just click on the correct address to populate the whole form)
The Ajax functionality is working properly and returning new data on each keystroke entered after the 5th keystroke. The problem is it is displaying the data UNDER the modal (and by under, I mean underneath and not viewable except for the part that actually you CAN see under the displayed modal)
I tried adding the ajax response directly to the input field val() attribute, that of course did not work.
This is most likely a z-index css issue (Note: The modal z-index is set at 1055 in its css), which I am a complete beginner at using and my fruitless attempts produced no behavior changes to how the data displayed on the page.
Here is the modal code.

Here is the JQuery code, although it is not likely a JQuery issue, other than maybe the returned data needs to be sent to something else
var selector = $("#user-profile-streetaddress");
selector.autocomplete({

$.ajax({
url: endpoint,
data: {
apiKey: userKey,
street: request.term,
country: "United States"
},
contentType: "application/json"
}).done(function (responseData, textStatus, jqXHR) {
var addresses = responseData.locations;
var streets = [];
$.each(addresses, function (i, item) {
var parsedAddress =
item.address.houseNumber + " "
+ item.address.street + ", "
+ item.address.city + ", "
+ item.address.state + ", "
+ item.address.postalCode + ", "
+ item.address.countryName;
streets.push(parsedAddress);
});
response(streets);
//selector.val(streets); // this displays the data returned as a long string, not a list
//selector.val(response); //doing this just makes the input field clear itself after you stop enetering data in it
}).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(textStatus);
selector.autocomplete("destroy");
}).always(function(object, textStatus, object){
console.log(textStatus + " from always");
});
},
minLength: 5,
select: function (event, ui) {
var selected = ui.item.value;
var addressData = selected.split(",");
selector.val(addressData[0]);
$("#user-profile-city").val(addressData[1]);
$("#user-profile-state").val(addressData[2]);
$("#user-profile-postalcode").val(addressData[3]);
$("#user-profile-country").val(addressData[4]);
return false;
}
});
Any help appreciated.

How to trigger Model Validation inside modal? .NET 5

i Have problem when i try the model validation by trying to fill the form by false.
And when i try to submit with the wrong value (not valid by model validator) it redirects to the page (without model).
Here's the screenshot :
Customer Index
redirect to Customer Create Page when i submit
Here's the code
CONTROLLER
//POST CREATE
[HttpPost]
[AutoValidateAntiforgeryToken]
public IActionResult Create(Models.Customer obj)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
_db.Customers.Add(obj);
_db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(obj);
}
//GET DELETE
public IActionResult Delete(int? id)
{
if (id == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
var obj = _db.Customers.Find(id);
if (obj == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
return PartialView(obj);
}
Model
public class Customer
{
[Key]
public int Id { get; set; }

Thank you (:

And when i try to submit with the wrong value (not valid by model
validator) it redirects to the page (without model).
You use return View(obj); when modelstate is not valid. So it will return view with model and the view name should be the action name(Create) if you do not specific view name. So this result is correct by using your code.
Here is a working demo：
Index.cshtml:
<button id="btnAddCustomer" class="btn btn-primary"> Tambah Customer</button>
<div class="modal fade" id="modalCustomer" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" id="modalBody">
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#section Scripts{
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnAddCustomer").on("click", function (e) {
var $buttonClicked = $(this);
//var id = $buttonClicked.attr('data-id');
var options = { "backdrop": "static", keyboard: true };
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: '#Url.Action("Create", "Customer")',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: null,
datatype: "json",
success: function (data) {
$('#modalBody').html(data);
//$('#modalCustomer').modal(options);
$('#modalCustomer').modal('show');
},
error: function () {
alert("Dynamic content load failed.");
}
});
})
});
</script>
}

<a asp-action="Index" class="btn btn-danger w-75">Back</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
JS in Create.cshtml:
<script>
$(document).on('click', '#modalCustomer #btn', function () {
var options = {};
options.type = "POST";
options.url = "/Customer/create";
options.dataType = "JSON";
options.cache = false;
options.async = true;
options.data = $("form").serialize();
options.success = function (data) {
//do your stuff...
$('#modalCustomer').modal('hide');
//if you don't want to stay in Index
//add the following code..
// window.location.href = "/home/privacy";
};
options.error = function (res) {
$('#modalBody').html(res.responseText);
};
$.ajax(options);
});
</script>
Update:
If modelstate is invalid, it will get into options.error and display the error message in modal. If modelstate is valid, it will get into options.success, you could redirect by using window.location.href or hide the modal by $('#modalCustomer').modal('hide');, just do your stuff.
Backend code should be like below:
[HttpPost]
[AutoValidateAntiforgeryToken]
public IActionResult Create(Customers obj)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
_db.Customers.Add(obj);
_db.SaveChanges();
return Json(new { success = true }); //change this...
}
return View(obj);
}

why does my page always redirects to the actionmethod view which doesnt exist rather than return to the view from where the actionmethod was called

I have a modal form that has a submit button already. Now I want to do a server-side validation for one of the data on the form. this validation will is meant to return a response to the user on the modal form if the data exist or not.
I am using an HTML action link to call an action method with ajax.
<div class="modal-body">
#using (Html.BeginForm("CreateSchool", "School", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data", #class = "modal-form", id = "createSchoolForm" }))

This is my jquery ajax code that calls the action method to validate the user input
$("#CheckDomain").click(function () {
debugger;
var sch = new Object();
sch.SubDomain = $('#createSchool_Subdomain').val();
if (sch != null) {
$.ajax({
url: "/School/CheckDomain",
//url: "#Url.Action("CheckDomain", "School")",
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(sch),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
debugger;
if (response != null) {
switch (response) {
case true:
//$("#subdomainresult").html("Submdomain already exists ");
alert("Submdomain already exists " );
break;
case false:
alert("Submdomain is available ");
//$("#subdomainresult").html("Submdomain is available ");
break;
default:
}
} else {
alert("Please enter a subdomain to check availability");
}
},
failure: function (response) {
alert(response.responseText);
},
error: function (response) {
alert(response.responseText);
}
});
}
});
this is my action method
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CheckDomain(CreateSchoolViewModel sch)
{
string SubDomain= sch.Subdomain;
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(SubDomain))
{
var IsSubdomianAvailable = Util.getSchoolFromSubdomain(databaseHandler, SubDomain);
if (IsSubdomianAvailable == null)
{
return Json(false, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
else
{
return Json(true, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
}
return Json(null, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
the page always tries to redirect to the action name( checkdomian) view rather than remain on the page

This line
#Html.ActionLink("Check if Sub-Domain is available", "CheckDomain", null, new { #class = "col-xs-3", id = "CheckDomain" })
can be replaced with a link with href set to javascript:void(0)
<a id='CheckDomain' href='javascript:void(0)' class='col-xs-3'>Check if Sub-Domain is available</a>
The link can be void, since there is a JQuery click event handler attached to it.

PartialView not returning bound model properties

I have a controller I am calling through jQuery AJAX. It takes the data in my page and returns a partial view. The purpose of the view is to pre-fill some Input fields with data which I am pulling from a data source.
The problem is, that when the partial view gets rendered in the browser, the form field input values do not get populated with the values I have added to the viewmodel.
I can put a breakpoint on the Return line and see that vm is correctly populated with my properties as I would want them.
But when I view the response in the network tab of Chrome Developer Tools the values are empty.
Anyone with any ideas why?
Controller
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> ViewEditRaceOption(RaceViewModel race)
{
var vm = race;
var option = race.RaceOptionData.FirstOrDefault(o => o.Number == race.EditOption);
vm.OptionAffiliatedDiscountValue = option.AffiliatedDiscountValue;
vm.OptionColour = option.OptionColour;
vm.OptionEmbedMapURL = option.EmbedMapURL;
vm.OptionEntryPremium = option.Premium;
vm.OptionEntryPrice= option.AffiliatedDiscountValue;
vm.OptionMaxEntries= option.MaxEntries;
vm.OptionName= option.Name;
vm.OptionRaceDistance = option.RaceDistance;
vm.OptionStartTime = option.StartTime;
vm.OptionCertificateFileName = option.CourseMeasurementCertificateFileName;
return PartialView("OptionModal", vm);
}

asp.net mvc controller return json List<T> unknown error

I'm simply trying to send back the List collection from the controller to the ajax function as JSON string, and for it to be recieved so i can manipulate the view.
I've done this before with collections but i can't see what the issue is, i get the required json as per the image link at the bottom. However i see no error apart from "json response - undefined" in the other link for the browser console when debugging.
I've already tried:
1. creating a new SalaryCalculator object of data (which posts back okay)
2. also created an anonymous type (which again posts back fine)
Controller method
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetSalaryCalculation(List<SalaryCalculator> form)
{
foreach (var entry in form)
{
entry.Tax = TaxCalculation(entry.Salary);
entry.MonthlyNet = MonthlyCalculation(entry.Salary, entry.Tax);
entry.WeeklyNet = WeeklyCalculation(entry.MonthlyNet);
entry.HourlyRate = HourlyCalculation(entry.WeeklyNet, entry.WeeklyHours);
if (entry.OverTimeHours > 0)
{
entry.OvertimeTotal = OvertimeCalculation(entry.OverTimeHours, entry.HourlyRate);
}
entry.OvertimeSalaryTotal = TotalCombinedCalculation(entry.MonthlyNet, entry.OvertimeTotal);
entry.TaxCode = "tax";
if (entry.Pension > 0)
{
entry.Pension = PensionCalculation(entry.OvertimeSalaryTotal, entry.Pension);
}
if (entry.StudentLoan > 0)
{
entry.StudentLoan = StudentLoanCalculation(entry.OvertimeSalaryTotal, entry.StudentLoan);
}
}
return Json(form, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
//return Content(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(form));
}
AJAX call
initialise: function () {
$("#calculateAmount").on("click", function () {
var formData = [
{
Salary: $("#salaryAmount").val(),
WeeklyHours: $("#hoursWorked").val(),
StudentLoan: $("#studentValidation").val(),
Pension: $("#pensionValidation").val(),
OverTimeHours: $("#overtimeValidation").val()
}
];
//console.log(formDataArray);
Ajax.fn.ajaxPost("GetSalaryCalculation",
function (jsonSuccess) {
console.log(jsonSuccess);
},
function (xhr, status, error) {
console.log(xhr);
console.log(status);
console.log(error);
},
{ form: formData }
);
});
}

Browser console display :
Controller action displaying json :
controller debugging with form data recieved from ajax

I have figured out the problem, it seems it was to do with the way JavaScript handles decimal values (IE it doesn't natively) combined with the way data was being entered from the input forms.
Explicitly converting the user input in Javascript using
parseFloat().toFixed()
Then passing the data to the controller via AJAX call seems to fix the issue but i am going to look into finding a way to calculate the data in another way.
