Sitecore 9.2 Error on Form Submit: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘unobtrusive’ of undefined

If you are reading this , it means you are victim of this JS error which you see in your browser console on form submit. I stuck with this and burned a whole day in investigating the root cause of this error. I went through many posts but nothing worked out in my scenario.

I went through few posts which are given below and I think you should take a look at them before you continue here ( if you are not already gone through)

if you are still here… means your issue is not resolved yet. Now, let’s explore what I did to fix this issue.

I opened OuterLayout.cshtml file and noticed that the Jquery was referenced after the @Html.RenderFormScripts() method call.

OuterLayout1

This was not loading the jquery.validate and other required files.

I just referenced some of the required JS files before the @Html.RenderFormScripts() method call. outerlayout2

This resolved the error and form submitted successfully. I am hoping that this can help some in their Sitcore journey.
