Html – Why is the modal not working after the button is clicked?

I have the following HTML, but the modal is not working.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

    <title>Rooms</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

I am using Bootstrap 5, and I think that my syntax is correct but when I click the button the modal does not show. I have tried it in chrome, and brave browser. Why is this happening?

UPDATE: I have included the cdn links that I used in my local enviroment

    There are two possible reasons why you’re encountering this problem:

    1. You didn’t include Bootstrap’s JS.
    2. You included Bootstrap’s JS incorrectly (e.g., you included both Bootstrap’s JS bundle and separate JS files).

    If you include Bootstrap’s JS correctly, the modal starts working.

    See the snippet below.

    <!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<body>
  <!-- Button trigger modal -->
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary mt-auto" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#exampleModal">
      Create Room
    </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">

          <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

</html>

    EDIT

    You used cdn for Bootstrap 4, but in your code, you’re using Bootstrap 5. Also, use a newer Popper version (i.e., 2.11.6) that is compatible with Bootstrap 5.

    See the snippet below.

    For Bootstrap 4, Use data-toggle and data-target (instead of data-bs-toggle and data-bs-target).

    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary mt-auto" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal">
    Create Room
</button>

    See the documentation.
