Upon using jQuery (jQuery 3.6.0.min.js) I am getting the strangest error in my console, but it never shows me the full stack trace of the error. Can someone help? This is affecting my web portal functionality:

Hi,
It looks like this type of error usually happens when jQuery’s internal selector engine (Sizzle) tries to call
.exec() on something that isn’t a regular expression. That means an invalid selector or pattern was passed to jQuery like:
JavaScript:
$("[object Object]") // invalidBelow are a couple possible fixes:
1. Check your selectors: Look through your JavaScript code for jQuery selectors like
$(...) and verify you're not accidentally passing non-string or malformed values (e.g., an object or undefined).2. Add logging:
You can debug by adding this to the area before you call the variable:
JavaScript:
console.log("Selector being passed:", exampleVariable);Hope this helps your issue! If you still run into any issues, feel free to reach out and we can try to help you further.

I do appreciate your help, however, I wound up finding the problem:
Bootstrap JS apparently has no ability to "play nice" with jQuery, so I removed the tag from my HTML that calls for bootstrap.min.js, and the error completely went away

Glad you were able to figure it out!
