Bootstrap 3 - How to load content in modal body via AJAX

Question

As you can see here  I have a button that launches a modal  Setting an href url for the button this url is automatically loaded into modal by Bootstrap 3  The fact is this page is loaded into modal root  as said in the bootstrap 3 documentation for modals usage   I want to load it into the modal-body instead   Is there a way to do it via attributes  not javascript   Or what is the most automatic way to do it   P S  I remember in Bootstrap 2 the content was loaded in the body  not the root

Check this SO answer out   It looks like the only way is to provide the whole modal structure with your ajax response   As you can check from the bootstrap source code  the load function is binded to the root element   In case you can t modify the ajax response  a simple workaround could be an explicit call of the       modal     plugin on your body element  even though it will probably break the show hide functions of the root element

I guess you re searching for this custom function  It takes a data-toggle attribute and creates dynamically the necessary div to place the remote content  Just place the data-toggle  ajaxModal  on any link you want to load via AJAX   The JS part       data-toggle  ajaxModal     on  click                 function e                        ajaxModal   remove                    e preventDefault                    var  this     this                       remote    this data  remote       this attr  href                        modal       lt div class  modal  id  ajaxModal  gt  lt div class  modal-body  gt  lt  div gt  lt  div gt                        body   append  modal                    modal modal  backdrop   static   keyboard  false                     modal load  remote                                    Finally  in the remote content  you need to put the entire structure to work    lt div class  modal-dialog  gt       lt div class  modal-content  gt           lt div class  modal-header  gt               lt button type  button  class  close  data-dismiss  modal  gt  amp times  lt  button gt               lt h4 class  modal-title  gt  lt  h4 gt           lt  div gt           lt div class  modal-body  gt           lt  div gt           lt div class  modal-footer  gt               lt a href     class  btn btn-white  data-dismiss  modal  gt Close lt  a gt               lt a href     class  btn btn-primary  gt Button lt  a gt               lt a href     class  btn btn-primary  gt Another button    lt  a gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt  lt  --   modal-content -- gt   lt  div gt  lt  --   modal-dialog -- gt

This is actually super simple with just a little bit of added javascript  The link s href is used as the ajax content source  Note that for Bootstrap 3   we set data-remote  quot false quot  to disable the deprecated Bootstrap load function  JavaScript     Fill modal with content from link href    quot  myModal quot   on  quot show bs modal quot   function e        var link     e relatedTarget         this  find  quot  modal-body quot   load link attr  quot href quot          Html  based on the official example    lt  -- Link trigger modal -- gt   lt a href  quot remoteContent html quot  data-remote  quot false quot  data-toggle  quot modal quot  data-target  quot  myModal quot  class  quot btn btn-default quot  gt      Launch Modal  lt  a gt    lt  -- Default bootstrap modal example -- gt   lt div class  quot modal fade quot  id  quot myModal quot  tabindex  quot -1 quot  role  quot dialog quot  aria-labelledby  quot myModalLabel quot  aria-hidden  quot true quot  gt     lt div class  quot modal-dialog quot  gt       lt div class  quot modal-content quot  gt         lt div class  quot modal-header quot  gt           lt button type  quot button quot  class  quot close quot  data-dismiss  quot modal quot  aria-label  quot Close quot  gt  lt span aria-hidden  quot true quot  gt  amp times  lt  span gt  lt  button gt           lt h4 class  quot modal-title quot  id  quot myModalLabel quot  gt Modal title lt  h4 gt         lt  div gt         lt div class  quot modal-body quot  gt                     lt  div gt         lt div class  quot modal-footer quot  gt           lt button type  quot button quot  class  quot btn btn-default quot  data-dismiss  quot modal quot  gt Close lt  button gt           lt button type  quot button quot  class  quot btn btn-primary quot  gt Save changes lt  button gt         lt  div gt       lt  div gt     lt  div gt   lt  div gt   Try it yourself  https   jsfiddle net ednon5d1
