Bootstrap close modal not working

Question

I have two button here that are being used to close the modal. The first is the close icon and the other one is cancel button, both use data-dismiss to close the modal. However, both of them are not working. I am using the same code for another modal and there they are working fine. Any guesses?

<div id="timeSelectModal{{entry.position - 1}}" style="display: none" class="modal">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div id="timeSelectModalContent" class="modal-content">
            <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
            <label>
                <input id="checkbox8pm{{entry.position - 1}}" type="checkbox" value="first_checkbox">
                <label class="checkbox-label">Thursday, 08:00 pm.</label>
            </label>
            <br>
            <label>
                <input id="checkbox9pm{{entry.position - 1}}" type="checkbox" value="second_checkbox">
                <label class="checkbox-label">Thursday, 09:30 pm.</label>
            </label>
            <div id="time-modal-footer" class="modal-footer">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-success" id="timeSaveButton{{entry.position - 1}}" v-on:click="setTime(entry.position - 1)">Save</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Answer 1

remove the "fade" class.

<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

change to

<div class="modal" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

Fade is an effect, if you remove fade, your modal will not have fade effect. The several problem which cause this issue is not call modal with right method.

Wrong method : $("#myModal").show();

Right method : $("#myModal").modal('show');

Answer 2

Very old topic but it still shows up first for people searching this problem, likely caused by them making the same simple mistake I did which was failing to ensure that the modal div was outside of the main body div from which it was launched. To use the Material Kit as an example, you should double check that the target "#myModal" div is outside the closing div tag for your main container.

<div class="main main-raised">
    <div class="container">
    <!--                 modals -->
        <div class="row" id="modals">
            <div class="col-md-6">
                <button class="btn btn-primary btn-raised btn-round" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">
                    Classic modal
                </button>
            </div>

        </div>
    <!--                 end modals              -->
    </div>
</div>

<!-- Classic Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">
                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">
                    <i class="material-icons">clear</i>
                </button>
                <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-body">
                <p>Hey hey</p>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-footer">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-simple">Nice Button</button>
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-simple" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<!--  End Modal -->

Answer 3

First check you have included bootstrap.js file in your html correctly.

You can try this code and replace the button tag for closing modal by -

<a href="#" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="close">&times;</a>

If still doesn't work.. Let me know.!

You can add an on-click event on close button in jQuery. Like this-

$("#yourModal").modal("hide"); 

Answer 4

I was stuck on this for a while also. I have no idea why but when I used data-bs-dismiss in stead of data-dismiss in the class for the close button it worked for me.

Please see below full code for close button.

Close

Answer 5

Here is my implementation of a modal you can use for comparing to help troubleshoot what errors exist in your modal code.

<html lang="en">
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>click Here</h2>
<div class="container">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-info btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Open Modal</button>
  <div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
      <div class="modal-content">
        <div class="modal-header">
          <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
          <h4 class="modal-title">Modal Header</h4>
        </div>
        <div class="modal-body">
          <p>Some text in the modal.</p>
        </div>
        <div class="modal-footer">
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        </div>
      </div>

    </div>
  </div>

</div>

</body>
</html>

Answer 6

Give ID 'modalClose' to Model's Close button and ID 'myView' to your Model,

then use the following code:

    <script>
    $(function () {
        $('#modalClose').on('click', function () {
            $('#myView').hide();
        })
    })

</script>

It will work like a charm.

Answer 7

I had this issue too and found this page so thought I would post my solution for anybody who may do the same.

Mine was down to the way the modal appeared. Somebody had use .toggle() when it should be .modal('show') so I guess from the modal point of view it never appeared properly so it can't disappear either.

Hope that helps somebody living in the future.

Answer 8

What helped in mine case, I've replaced data-dismiss with data-bs-dismiss, now it works!

Answer 9

Always try to place a modal's HTML code in a top-level position in your document to avoid other components affecting the modal's appearance and/or functionality.

Answer 10

In my case I had other div over it.
I'v solved with z-index.

.modal button.close {
    z-index: 1000;
}

Answer 11

For me modal was not getting closed because script files had conflict somewere, so used minimum required script files to check the problem in closing model.Way I added scripts for which model was getting closed properly

"scripts": [
          "src/assets/js/lib/jquery/jquery.min.js",
          "src/assets/js/lib/bootstrap/js/popper.min.js",
          "src/assets/js/lib/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"
        ]

And for sure I had added bootstrap.min.css in styles.

Answer 12

In my case I was missing the data-target attribute on the link that calls the modal.

<a href="#getResults"
   class="results-link"
   data-toggle="modal"
   data-target="#results-modal"
   data-providerName="${providerName}"
   data-individualID="${individualID}"
   data-reportID="@Model.ReportID">Results
</a>
