Bootstrap: Open Another Modal in Modal

Question

So, I'm using this code to open another modal window in a current opened modal window:

<a onclick=\"$('#login').modal('hide');$('#lost').modal('show');\" href='#'>Click</a>

What happens is, that for like 500ms the scrollbar will duplicate. I guess because the current modal is still fading out. However it looks very un-smooth and stuttering.

I would appreciate any suggestions to solve this issue.

Also, is the way building this in an onclick-event unprofessional?

I'm working with the bootstrap version 3.0.

Edit: I guess it's neccesary to reduce the time of fading out a modal. How is this possible?

Answer 1

My code and work so good using data-dismiss

<li class="step1">
    <a href="#" class="button-popup" data-dismiss="modal" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#lightbox1">
        <p class="text-label">Step 1</p>
        <p class="text-text">Plan your Regime</p>
    </a>

</li>
<li class="step2">
    <a href="#" class="button-popup" data-dismiss="modal" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#lightbox2">
        <p class="text-label">Step 2</p>
        <p class="text-text">Plan your menu</p>
    </a>
</li>
<li class="step3 active">
    <a href="#" class="button-popup" data-toggle="modal" data-dismiss="modal" data-target="#lightbox3">
        <p class="text-label">Step 3</p>
        <p class="text-text">This Step is Undone.</p>
    </a>
</li>
