Javascript error in external authentication

Question

I am brand new to Telligent, sorry for dumb questions. I have added my new custom external authentication provider. But when I enable mine or FB/Google/etc... and I click the icon, I get a JavaScript error. This js is coming from UI.js, but not the one on disk, so I image it is coming from a Theme? The link is mysite/.../ui.js 
 The error is 
 Uncaught TypeError: elm.closest is not a function at submit (VM791 ui.js:33) at HTMLAnchorElement.<anonymous> (VM791 ui.js:67) at HTMLAnchorElement.dispatch (jquery.min.js?_=637148132140000000:2) at HTMLAnchorElement.v.handle (jquery.min.js?_=637148132140000000:2) 
 This is the code in the UI.js 
 // submits the form
submit = function(elm) {
	elm.closest('form').submit();
}, 
 
 But long and short of it, is this a known bug? Also when this works, am I going to see a popup of my remote OAuth site?

It appears that you are using an older version of the User - Login and Create widget with the global form element disabled. This older version of the widget requires the global form element. You can either: 
 1. Revert the User - Login and Create widget in Widget Studio to use the latest version 
 2. Re-enable the global form element in Administration > Interface > Legacy Options (note that this is a temporary solution)
