Great tutorial. But I’m having a problem. The JavaScript you’ve provided at the end of form is bypassing my validation. Any suggestions?

Is there a way to hide the submit button after a successful registration?
I use a double opt-in signup and put the return messages from my signup script in the same modal just above the form.
When I get a successful signup I show the message “Please go and check you email” and would like to remove/hide the submit button, otherwize if the click again they get a “This email is already registered” message.

Hi. If I update to the latest version of bootstrap, the modal popup no longer appears. Any thoughts on what I need to do will be appreciated. Thanks
$(“#your-form-id”).removeClass(‘hide’);
