I have a Rails form, to which I have attached a submit handler which has a try / catch block and in the catch block, I display error message to the user and try to re-enable the submit button.

The button for some reason does not get re-enabled.

If I execute the same code in browser console later, the button gets re-enabled.

below is the relevant part of the code

function displayError(action,err){
  jQuery('input[name=commit]').removeAttr('disabled');
};

form.addEventListener('submit', (event) => {
try {

} catch(e) {
displayError('submit', e);
}
});

Any help on this will be really great, Thanks.

*** Update 1

if i console.log(jQuery('input[name=commit]')); I see this
