Input fields are outside the form field when in bootstraps modal (Google chrome)

I've ran into a strange problem when playing around with Bootstrap 4 Modals. When I tried to put a form inside a modal - submitting wouldn't do anything and after inspecting the element in Google Chrome I found out that it shows the input fields are outside the form tags.

My code in question is:

<div class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title">Title</h5>
          <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
            <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
          </button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <form action='test-input.php' method='post' class='ajax-input'>
          <input type='text' name='test-input-field'><input type='submit' name='test-submit'>
        </form>
      </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>

But google chrome sees the "modal-body" like this:

<div class="modal-body">
  <form action='test-input.php' method='post' class='ajax-input'></form>
  <input type='text' name='test-input-field'><input type='submit' name='test-submit'>
</div>

Sadly on IE everything works fine. What can be the problem and is there a way to go around this problem if it persists ?

It looks like you are creating each modal immediately after the <tr>, still inside the <table>. This is probably what is causing the issue. You will want to move the modals outside of your table, giving you code something like:


<table>
  <? foreach($item in $items) { %>
   <tr> ... </tr>
  <? } ?>
</table>

<? foreach($item in $items) { %>
<div class="modal" id="modal-<?= $item->id ?>">
  ...
</div>
<? } ?>
