Bootstrap modal - close modal when "call to action" button is clicked
JavascriptTwitter BootstrapJavascript Problem Overview
I have a external link inside my modal, and I want the modal to hide after the user has clicked on the link. How do I do that?
Here is my code:
<div class="modal hide fade" id="modalwindow">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3>Title</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>You need to do a search on google.com for that.</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<a id="closemodal" href="https://www.google.com" class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank">Launch google.com</a>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#closemodal').modal('hide');
</script>
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
You need to bind the modal hide call to the onclick event.
Assuming you are using jQuery you can do that with:
$('#closemodal').click(function() {
$('#modalwindow').modal('hide');
});
Also make sure the click event is bound after the document has finished loading:
$(function() {
// Place the above code inside this block
});
enter code here
Solution 2 - Javascript
Remove your script, and change the HTML:
<a id="closemodal" href="https://www.google.com" class="btn btn-primary close" data-dismiss="modal" target="_blank">Launch google.com</a>
EDIT: Please note that currently this will not work as this functionality does not yet exist in bootstrap. See issue here.
Solution 3 - Javascript
Use data-dismiss="modal". In the version of Bootstrap I am using v3.3.5, when data-dismiss="modal" is added to the desired button like shown below it calls my external Javascript (JQuery) function beautifully and magically closes the modal. Its soo Sweet, I was worried I would have to call some modal hide in another function and chain that to the real working function
<a href="#" id="btnReleaseAll" class="btn btn-primary btn-default btn-small margin-right pull-right" data-dismiss="modal">Yes</a>
In some external script file, and in my doc ready there is of course a function for the click of that identifier ID
$("#divExamListHeader").on('click', '#btnReleaseAll', function () {
// Do DatabaseMagic Here for a call a MVC ActionResult
Solution 4 - Javascript
Make as shown.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#myModal').modal('show');
$('#myBtn').on('click', function(){
$('#myModal').modal('show');
});
});

Solution 5 - Javascript
I tried closing a modal window with a bootstrap CSS loaded. The close () method does not really close the modal window. So I added the display style to "none".
function closeDialog() {
let d = document.getElementById('d')
d.style.display = "none"
d.close()
}
The HTML code includes a button into the dialog window.
<input type="submit" value="Confirm" onclick="closeDialog()"/>
