Bootstrap Modal

See live demo here.

Extends Bootstrap's native modals to provide additional functionality. Introduces a ModalManager class that operates behind the scenes to handle multiple modals by listening on their events.

A single ModalManager is created by default that can be accessed through the GlobalModalManager variable.

Can be used as a replacement for Bootstrap's Modal class or as a patch to the library.

Installation

Include css/bootstrap-modal.css after the main bootstrap css files.
Include js/bootstrap-modalmanager.js and js/bootstrap-modal.js after the main bootstrap js files. Note that bootstrap-modal must be included after bootstrap-modalmanager.

Options

In addition to the standard bootstrap options, you now have access to the following options

Modal

width Set the inital width of the modal.
height Set the inital height of the modal.
maxHeight Set the max-height of the modal.
loading Toggle the loading state.
spinner Provide a custom image or animation for the loading spinner
manager Set the modal's manager. By default this is set to the GlobalModalManager and will most likely not need to be overridden.

spinner Provide a custom image or animation for the loading spinner

Disable Background Scrolling

If you want to prevent the background page from scrolling (see demo for example) there is one extra step required. You must wrap the page contents in a <div class="page-container"> and provide a <div class="modal-container">. For example:

<body>
	<div class="page-container">
		<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">...</div>
		<div class="container">...</div>
	</div>
	<div class="modal-container">
		<!-- You can put your modal definitions here but it is not required -->
	</div>
</body>

The reason for doing this instead of just simply setting overflow: hidden when a modal is open is because I wanted to avoid having the page shift as a result of the scrollbar appearing/disappearing. I also require that the document be scrollable when there is a tall modal but only wanted it to scroll to fit the height of the modal, not the entire page.

Known Issues

On mobile safari, the background page will still scroll if the modal is smaller then the window size. We get desired behaviour if the modal is larger then the window however. I have not been able to figure out a fix for this yet.
