Multiple modals overlay

Look at this code:

http://bootply.com/86958

I need that the overlay shows above the first modal, not in the back. I tried to change the z-index of .modal-backdrop, but it becomes a mess. I looked everywhere and found nothing.

In some cases I have more than two modals on the same page.

UIModalPresentationFormSheet resizing view

I am interested to know on how I can resize the view when using UIModalPresentationFormSheet of modalPresentationStyle, it looks like it has a fixed size so I was wondering if anyone out there did managed to manipulate the popup view from the sizing perspective.

So there is either UIModalPresentationFormSheet with a fixed view size or full views and I am after something in between.

How to auto-center jQuery UI dialog when resizing browser?

When you use jquery UI dialog, all works well, except for one thing. When the browser is resized, the dialog just stays in it's initial position which can be really annoying.

You can test it out on: http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/

Click on the "modal dialog" example and resize your browser.

I'd love to be able to let dialogs auto-center when the browser resizes. Can this be done in an efficient way for all my dialogs in my app?

Thanks a lot!

How do make modal dialog in WPF?

I am writing my first application in WPF and want to have the user input some data on a modal dialog window. Apparently, this is not simple to do in WPF, because the parent window stays fully enabled, and the method that created the new child window doesn't stop and wait for the child window to call Close(). Instead it just keeps going forward. This is not what I want.

How can I get the child window to open, and have the parent window wait for the child to close before the parent window continues executing?

Scope issues with Angular UI modal

I'm having trouble understanding/using the scopes for an angular UI modal.

While not immediately apparent here, I have the modules and everything set up correctly (as far as I can tell), but these code samples in particular are where I'm finding the bug.

index.html (the important part of it)

<div class="btn-group">
    <button class="btn dropdown-toggle btn-mini" data-toggle="dropdown">
        Actions
        <span class="caret"></span>
    </button>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu pull-right text-left">
        <li><a ng-click="addSimpleGroup()">Add Simple</a></li>
        <li><a ng-click="open()">Add Custom</a></li>
        <li class="divider"></li>
        <li><a ng-click="doBulkDelete()">Remove Selected</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

Controller.js (again, the important part)

MyApp.controller('AppListCtrl', function($scope, $modal){
    $scope.name = 'New Name';
    $scope.groupType = 'New Type';

    $scope.open = function(){
        var modalInstance = $modal.open({
            templateUrl: 'partials/create.html',
            controller: 'AppCreateCtrl'
        });
        modalInstance.result.then(function(response){

            // outputs an object {name: 'Custom Name', groupType: 'Custom Type'}
            // despite the user entering customized values
            console.log('response', response);

            // outputs "New Name", which is fine, makes sense to me.                
            console.log('name', $scope.name);

        });
    };
});

MyApp.controller('AppCreateCtrl', function($scope, $modalInstance){
    $scope.name = 'Custom Name';
    $scope.groupType = 'Custom Type';

    $scope.ok = function(){

        // outputs 'Custom Name' despite user entering "TEST 1"
        console.log('create name', $scope.name);

        // outputs 'Custom Type' despite user entering "TEST 2"
        console.log('create type', $scope.groupType);

        // outputs the $scope for AppCreateCtrl but name and groupType
        // still show as "Custom Name" and "Custom Type"
        // $scope.$id is "007"
        console.log('scope', $scope);

        // outputs what looks like the scope, but in this object the
        // values for name and groupType are "TEST 1" and "TEST 2" as expected.
        // this.$id is set to "009" so this != $scope
        console.log('this', this);

        // based on what modalInstance.result.then() is saying,
        // the values that are in this object are the original $scope ones
        // not the ones the user has just entered in the UI. no data binding?
        $modalInstance.close({
            name: $scope.name,
            groupType: $scope.groupType
        });
    };
});

create.html (in its entirety)

<div class="modal-header">
    <button type="button" class="close" ng-click="cancel()">x</button>
    <h3 id="myModalLabel">Add Template Group</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
    <form>
        <fieldset>
            <label for="name">Group Name:</label>
            <input type="text" name="name" ng-model="name" />           
            <label for="groupType">Group Type:</label>
            <input type="text" name="groupType" ng-model="groupType" />
        </fieldset>
    </form>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
    <button class="btn" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
    <button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="ok()">Add</button>
</div>

So, my question stands: why is the scope not being double-bound to the UI? and why does this have the customized values, but $scope does not?

I have tried to add ng-controller="AppCreateCtrl" to the body div in create.html, but that threw an error: "Unknown provider: $modalInstanceProvider <- $modalInstance" so no luck there.

At this point, my only option is to pass back an object with this.name and this.groupType instead of using $scope, but that feels wrong.

Thanks in advance! :)

UPDATE: In addition to the reading suggested by Nikos, there is also this list of pitfalls that can help. This problem is an example of pitfall #5.

Disallow twitter bootstrap modal window from closing

I am creating a modal window using twitter bootstrap. The default behavior is if you click outside the modal area, the modal will automatically close. I would like to disable that -- i.e. not close the modal window when clicking outside the modal.

Can someone share jQuery code to do this?

Close dialog on click (anywhere)

Is there a default option to close a jQuery dialog by clicking somewhere on the screen instead of the close icon?

Using :before CSS pseudo element to add image to modal

I have a CSS class Modal which is absolutely positioned, z-indexed above it's parent, and nicely positioned with JQuery. I want to add a caret image (^) to the top of the modal box and was looking at using the :before CSS pseudo selector to do this cleanly.

The image needs to be absolutely positioned and z-indexed above the modal, but I haven't found any way to add the appropriate class to the image in the content attribute:

.Modal:before{
  content:url('blackCarrot.png') /* with class ModalCarrot ??*/
}

.ModalCarrot{
   position:absolute;
   left:50%;
   margin-left:-8px;
   top:-16px;
}

Second best option- can I add the styles inline in the content attribute?

Unknown provider: $modalProvider <- $modal error with AngularJS

I keep receiving this error as I'm trying to implement bootstrap Modal window. What could be the cause of it? I've copy/pasted everything from http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/modal here.

Calling a function on bootstrap modal open

I used to use JQuery UI's dialog, and it had the open option, where you can specify some Javascript code to execute once the dialog is opened. I would have used that option to select the text within the dialog using a function I have.

Now I want to do that using bootstrap's modal. Below is the HTMl code:

<div id="code" class="modal hide fade">
    <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
        <h3>Modal header</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
        <pre>
print 'Hello World'

And as for the button that opens the modal:

 <a rel='nofollow' href="#code" data-toggle="modal" class="btn code-dialog">Display code</a>

I tried to use an onclick listener of the button, but the alert message was displayed before the modal appeared:

$( ".code-dialog" ).click(function(){
    alert("I want this to appear after the modal has opened!");
});

Avoid browser popup blockers

I'm developing an OAuth authentication flow purely in JavaScript and I want to show the user the "grant access" window in a popup, but it gets blocked.

How can I prevent pop up windows created by either window.open or window.showModalDialog from being blocked by the different browsers' pop-up blockers?

ASP.NET MVC modal dialog/popup best practice

I am looking for the most standard way to achieve modal dialogs in ASP.NET MVC.

An example of what I am trying to do is when I select an item from my "list" page, I want the "details" page to be a popup over the list and NOT a new page. I'm not looking for a hack. I want it to be a solution that follows the ASP.NET MVC pattern. I would also prefer not stepping outside jQuery and ASP.NET Ajax (no plugins UNLESS it is emerging as a best practice).

Disable click outside of bootstrap model area to close modal

Bootstrap modal page

jQuery UI Dialog window loaded within AJAX style jQuery UI Tabs

The AJAX tabs work perfectly well. It's pretty straightforward with that part. However, getting the AJAX UI Dialog modal window to trigger off of a link has been unsuccessful.

Any help in this would be appreciated.

Bootstrap Modal immediately disappearing

I'm working on a website using bootstrap. (And i'm kind of a newbie in web design/coding) Basically, i wanted to use a modal in the home page, summoned by the button in the Hero Unit.

Button code:

<button type="button" 
    class="btn btn-warning btn-large" 
    data-toggle="modal"
    data-target="#myModal">Open Modal</button>

Modal code:

<div class="modal hide fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-header">
    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
    <h3 id="myModalLabel">In Costruzione</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body">
    <p>Test Modal: Bootstrap</p>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Chiudi</button>
    <button class="btn btn-warning">Salva</button>
  </div>
</div>

The problem is that as soon as i click on the button, the modal fades in and then immediately disappears. I tried everything i know to make it work but nay!. Nothing works.

I'd really appreciate any help you can give me.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm Italian.

Also, does anyone know how to change the dropdown triangle's color (pointing up, no hover). I'm working on a website based on orange and brown and that blue thing is really annoying. Thanks again!
