I have a dashboard with multiple panels to display different information and I would like to be able to add a button to display the panel in a modal.
I am using bootstrap and all I can find is modals already written. I would like to copy the content of a div tag which is a panel and then display that in the model, but I am unsure as how to go about it. The html for the panel can be seen below. The panel does contain a table but I have cut the code down. I have looked around but I can't seem to find a solution for what I need. I understand that I need to use jQuery, copy the panel and add it to the contents of the modal dialog. I have tried to do this but had no luck. I have included a fiddle to show the approach I have taken Here this does launch the modal but the content is not displayed nor the button to close it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
HTML code for the panel:
<div class="panel sample panel-yellow message">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title">
<i class="fa fa-flask fa-fw"></i>Sample Updates
<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin sample "></i>
<a id="refreshMessage" class="refreshButton pull-right" href="#"><span class="fa fa-refresh"></span></a>
<a id="hideMessage" class="refreshButton pull-right" href="#"><span class="fa fa-arrow-up"></span></a>
<a id="focusMessage" class="focusButton pull-right" href="#"><span class="fa fa-eye"></span></a>
</h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<center>
<h5 class="text-warning">Table shows samples created or modified in the last ten minutes</h5>
</center>
</div>
</div>
