Remove animation
For modals that simply appear rather than fade in to view, remove the .fade class from your modal markup.

Using the grid system
To take advantage of the Bootstrap grid system within a modal, just nest .container-fluid within the .modal-body and then use the normal grid system classes within this container.

Varying modal content based on trigger button
Have a bunch of buttons that all trigger the same modal, just with slightly different contents? Use event.relatedTarget and HTML data-* attributes (possibly via jQuery) to vary the contents of the modal depending on which button was clicked. See the Modal Events docs for details on relatedTarget.
{% example html %}
Open modal for @mdo
Open modal for @fat
Open modal for @getbootstrap

$('#exampleModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
var button = $(event.relatedTarget) // Button that triggered the modal
var recipient = button.data('whatever') // Extract info from data-* attributes
// If necessary, you could initiate an AJAX request here (and then do the updating in a callback).
// Update the modal's content. We'll use jQuery here, but you could use a data binding library or other methods instead.
var modal = $(this)
modal.find('.modal-title').text('New message to ' + recipient)
modal.find('.modal-body input').val(recipient)
})
{% endhighlight %}
Modals with dynamic heights
If the height of a modal changes while it is open, you should call $('#myModal').data('bs.modal').handleUpdate() to readjust the modal's position in case a scrollbar appears.
Usage
The modal plugin toggles your hidden content on demand, via data attributes or JavaScript. It also adds .modal-open to the <body> to override default scrolling behavior and generates a .modal-backdrop to provide a click area for dismissing shown modals when clicking outside the modal.
Via data attributes
Activate a modal without writing JavaScript. Set data-toggle="modal" on a controller element, like a button, along with a data-target="#foo" or href="#foo" to target a specific modal to toggle.
{% highlight html %}
Launch modal
{% endhighlight %}
Via JavaScript
Call a modal with id myModal with a single line of JavaScript:
{% highlight js %}$('#myModal').modal(options){% endhighlight %}
Options
Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-backdrop="".
| Name |
Type |
Default |
Description |
| backdrop |
boolean or the string 'static' |

Methods
.modal(options)
Activates your content as a modal. Accepts an optional options object.
{% highlight js %}
$('#myModal').modal({
keyboard: false
})
{% endhighlight %}
.modal('toggle')
Manually toggles a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been shown or hidden (i.e. before the shown.bs.modal or hidden.bs.modal event occurs).
{% highlight js %}$('#myModal').modal('toggle'){% endhighlight %}
.modal('show')
Manually opens a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been shown (i.e. before the shown.bs.modal event occurs).
{% highlight js %}$('#myModal').modal('show'){% endhighlight %}
.modal('hide')
Manually hides a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been hidden (i.e. before the hidden.bs.modal event occurs).
{% highlight js %}$('#myModal').modal('hide'){% endhighlight %}
Events
Bootstrap's modal class exposes a few events for hooking into modal functionality. All modal events are fired at the modal itself (i.e. at the <div class="modal">).
| Event Type |
Description |
| show.bs.modal |
This event fires immediately when the show instance method is called. If caused by a click, the clicked element is available as the relatedTarget property of the event. |
| shown.bs.modal |
This event is fired when the modal has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete). If caused by a click, the clicked element is available as the relatedTarget property of the event. |
| hide.bs.modal |
This event is fired immediately when the hide instance method has been called. |
| hidden.bs.modal |
This event is fired when the modal has finished being hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete). |
{% highlight js %}
$('#myModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {
// do something...
})
{% endhighlight %}
