Question

Using the twitter bootstrap framework for web application. I am using a modal in which I call another modal, having 1 modal on top of the other modal. Currently if you click the close ‘x’ button it closes both modal windows. I only want to close the top modal.

The Modal class Definition starts on line 750 in bootstrap.js.

Modal HTML

<div class="modal fade hide modal-creator" id="myModal_crop_image" style="display: none;height:600px;" aria-hidden="true">
    <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" data-target="#myModal_crop_image">×</button>
        <h3>Create New Gallery</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
        <img style="height:50%;" src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>data/001/images/album/014.jpg" alt="" />
    </div><!-- /modal-body -->

    <div class="modal-footer">

</div>

BootStrap JS

!function ($) {

  "use strict"; // jshint ;_;


 /* MODAL CLASS DEFINITION

Here is a link to the js. http://jsfiddle.net/dazaweb/5cR95/

Any ideas on how I go about this?

Answer 1

In your modal definition where you have data-dismiss="modal", add data-target="#theIdOfTheModal"

This will tell it to only close that specific modal

I created a fiddle demonstrating this and it actually works with or without data-target:
Fiddle!
