The ajax loads perfectly, however within the popup I have a couple of links/forum posts. How can I keep the modal open without reloading the main page and just post content within the modal?

Thanks for the snippet, I'm trying to work out how to set the button label to "loading" while modal (which takes time to generate) is loading. Any help much appreciated!

Hi! thanks for the gist, very useful and everything looks works fine. but when I open the console log this error appear everytime I click the trigger button :

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: http://project.local/bpmpt/data/administrasi/properti/form

i've try to change it into:

$('a[data-toggle="modal"]').click( function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var btn = $(this),
        url = btn.attr('href')

    if (url.indexOf('#') == 0) {
        $(url).modal('open')
    } else {
        btn.button('loading')

        $.get(url, function (data) {
            $('.modal').modal().on('shown', function () {
                $(this).html(data)

                btn.button('reset')
            }).on('hidden', function () {
                $(this).html('')
            })
        })
    }
})

but nothing help, any other idea?

Feryardiant,

I was having the same issue. It's because of data-toggle="modal" change it to something else like data-foo="modal"
on the jQuery filter as well as the Anchor.

a href="asdf/asdf/asdf" data-foo="modal">
.... ....
$('a[data-foo="modal"]').click( function (e) {

thanks @axar you're right. as you said, i do try to change data-toggle="modal" but not in another data attribute, i put it in class="toggle-modal" and the JS like so.

$('a.toggle-modal').click( function (e) {
...

and now it's works well ^_^

Maybe some of you are looking to force the modal to load fresh content on each pop, I found this instead:

  $('.modal').on('hidden', function() {
    $(this).data('modal', null);
  });

When trying to fix the two background divs problem mentioned by @vcivelek, I discovered this code is superfluous.

Check out the remote option in the docs.

Thanks @drewjoh! This saves me from having a totally absurd amount of static HTML for various modals.

I got rid of the success in event in favor of the autofocus attribiute. (http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML5_form_additions#autofocus)

To remove dynamic modal loaded in DOM. the following works for me.
$('<div id="clue-modal" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog"><div class="modal-dialog"><div class="modal-content">' + data + '</div></div></div>').modal().on("hidden.bs.modal", function () { $(this).remove(); });

Can check https://gist.github.com/navdeepsingh/de4718a074b812637330f668d2a73b7e

Thanks!!
