Bootstrap modal: close current, open new

Question

I have looked for a while, but I can't find a solution for this. I want the following:

• Open an URL inside a Bootstrap modal. I have this working off course. So the content is loaded dynamically.
• When an user pushes a button inside this modal, I want the current modal to hide, and immediately after that, I want a new modal to open with the new URL (which the user clicked on). This content of the 2nd modal is also loaded dynamically.
• If the user then closes that 2nd modal, the first modal must come back again.

I have been staring at this for days, hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to add following attribute to the link or button where you want add this functionality:

 data-dismiss="modal" data-toggle="modal" id="forgotPassword" data-target="#ModalForgotPassword"

Answer 2

With BootStrap 3, you can try this:-

var visible_modal = jQuery('.modal.in').attr('id'); // modalID or undefined
if (visible_modal) { // modal is active
    jQuery('#' + visible_modal).modal('hide'); // close modal
}

Tested to work with: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals (click on "Launch Demo Modal" first).

Answer 4

Using click function:

$('.btn-editUser').on('click', function(){
    $('#viewUser').modal('hide'); // hides modal with id viewUser 
    $('#editUser').modal('show'); // display modal with id editUser
});

Heads up:

Make sure that the one you want to show is an independent modal.

Answer 5

Simple and elegant solution for BootStrap 3.x. The same modal can be reused in this way.

$("#myModal").modal("hide");
$('#myModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {
   $("#myModal").html(data);
   $("#myModal").modal();
   // do something more...
}); 

Answer 6

I have exact same problem, and my solution is only if modal dialog have [role="dialog"] attribute :

/*
* Find and Close current "display:block" dialog,
* if another data-toggle=modal is clicked
*/
jQuery(document).on('click','[data-toggle*=modal]',function(){
  jQuery('[role*=dialog]').each(function(){
    switch(jQuery(this).css('display')){
      case('block'):{jQuery('#'+jQuery(this).attr('id')).modal('hide'); break;}
    }
  });
});
