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)

Good solution, but the problem here is that the function get's triggered twice, I changed it to

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!!
