I am making a bootstrap website, with a couple of Bootstrap 'Modals'. I'm trying to customize some of the default features.
Problem is this; You can close the modal by clicking on the background. Is there anyway to disable this feature? On specifc modals only?
On Options chapter, in the page you linked, you can see the backdrop option. Passing this option with value 'static' will prevent closing the modal.
As @PedroVagner pointed on comments, you also can pass {keyboard: false} to prevent closing the modal by pressing Esc.
If you opening the modal by js use:
$('#myModal').modal({backdrop: 'static', keyboard: false})
If you are using data attributes, use:
<button data-target="#myModal" data-toggle="modal" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false">
Launch demo modal
</button>`
You can use an attribute like this: data-backdrop="static" or with javascript:
$('#myModal').modal({
backdrop: 'static',
keyboard: false // to prevent closing with Esc button (if you want this too)
})
See this answer too: Disallow twitter bootstrap modal window from closing
There are two ways to disable click outside of bootstrap model area to close modal-
using javascript
$('#myModal').modal({
backdrop: 'static',
keyboard: false
});
using data attribute in HTML tag
data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false" //write this attributes in that button where you click to open the modal popup.
Checkout This ::
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#popup").modal({
show: false,
backdrop: 'static'
});
$("#click-me").click(function() {
$("#popup").modal("show");
});

</html>Another option if you do not know if the modal has already been opened or not yet and you need to configure the modal options:
Bootstrap 3.4
var $modal = $('#modal');
var keyboard = false; // Prevent to close by ESC
var backdrop = 'static'; // Prevent to close on click outside the modal
if(typeof $modal.data('bs.modal') === 'undefined') { // Modal did not open yet
$modal.modal({
keyboard: keyboard,
backdrop: backdrop
});
} else { // Modal has already been opened
$modal.data('bs.modal').options.keyboard = keyboard;
$modal.data('bs.modal').options.backdrop = backdrop;
if(keyboard === false) {
$modal.off('keydown.dismiss.bs.modal'); // Disable ESC
} else { //
$modal.data('bs.modal').escape(); // Resets ESC
}
}
Bootstrap 4.3+
var $modal = $('#modal');
var keyboard = false; // Prevent to close by ESC
var backdrop = 'static'; // Prevent to close on click outside the modal
if(typeof $modal.data('bs.modal') === 'undefined') { // Modal did not open yet
$modal.modal({
keyboard: keyboard,
backdrop: backdrop
});
} else { // Modal has already been opened
$modal.data('bs.modal')._config.keyboard = keyboard;
$modal.data('bs.modal')._config.backdrop = backdrop;
if(keyboard === false) {
$modal.off('keydown.dismiss.bs.modal'); // Disable ESC
} else { //
$modal.data('bs.modal').escape(); // Resets ESC
}
}
Change options to _config
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true" data-keyboard="false" data-backdrop="static">
try this,During my application development ...I also met the trouble that default values for a model attribute => data-keyboard="true",
=> data-backdrop="non static"
Hope this will help you!
If you are using @ng-bootstrap use the following:
Component
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { NgbModal } from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';
@Component({
selector: 'example',
templateUrl: './example.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./example.component.scss'],
})
export class ExampleComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(
private ngbModal: NgbModal
) {}
ngOnInit(): void {
}
openModal(exampleModal: any, $event: any) {
this.ngbModal.open(exampleModal, {
size: 'lg', // set modal size
backdrop: 'static', // disable modal from closing on click outside
keyboard: false, // disable modal closing by keyboard esc
});
}
}
Template
<div (click)="openModal(exampleModal, $event)"> </div>
<ng-template #exampleModal let-modal>
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title">Test modal</h5>
</div>
<div class="modal-body p-3">
<form action="">
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<label for="">Test field 1</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<label for="">Test field 2</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="text-right pt-4">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-light" (click)="modal.dismiss('Close')">Close</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary ml-1">Save</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</ng-template>
This code was tested on angular 9 using:
"@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap": "^6.1.0",
"bootstrap": "^4.4.1",
if you want to change default:
for bootstrap 3.x:
$.fn.modal.prototype.constructor.Constructor.DEFAULTS.backdrop = 'static';
$.fn.modal.prototype.constructor.Constructor.DEFAULTS.keyboard = false;
for bootstrap 4.x:
$.fn.modal.prototype.constructor.Constructor.Default.backdrop = 'static';
$.fn.modal.prototype.constructor.Constructor.Default.keyboard = false;
backdrop: 'static'
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/javascript/#modals-options
specify
staticfor a backdrop which doesn't close the modal on click.
none of these solutions worked for me.
I have a terms and conditions modal that i wanted to force people to review before continuing...the defaults "static" and "keyboard" as per the options made it impossible to scroll down the page as the terms and conditions are a few pages log, static was not the answer for me.
So instead i went to unbind the the click method on the modal, with the following i was able to get the desired effect.
$('.modal').off('click');
Use this if you want to disable the outer click for all modals using jQuery. Add this script to your Javascript after jQuery.
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery('[data-toggle="modal"]').each(function () {
jQuery(this).attr('data-backdrop','static');
jQuery(this).attr('data-keyboard','false');
});
});
You can Disallow closing of #signUp (This should be the id of the modal) modal when clicking outside of modal.
As well as on ESC button.
jQuery('#signUp').on('shown.bs.modal', function() {
jQuery(this).data('bs.modal').options.backdrop = 'static';// For outside click of modal.
jQuery(this).data('bs.modal').options.keyboard = false;// For ESC button.
})
