Examples

Modal components

Below is a static modal example (meaning its position and display have been overridden). Included are the modal header, modal body (required for padding), and modal footer (optional). We ask that you include modal headers with dismiss actions whenever possible, or provide another explicit dismiss action.

								
									<div class="modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">
										<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
											<div class="modal-content">
												<div class="modal-header">
													<h5 class="modal-title">Modal title</h5>
													<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
														<span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
													</button>
												</div>
												<div class="modal-body">
													<p>Modal body text goes here.</p>
												</div>
												<div class="modal-footer">
													<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
													<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
												</div>
											</div>
										</div>
									</div>
								
							

Live Demo

Toggle a working modal demo by clicking the button below. It will slide down and fade in from the top of the page.

								
									<!-- Button trigger modal -->
									<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal">
										Launch demo modal
									</button>

									<!-- Modal -->
									<div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
										<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
											<div class="modal-content">
												<div class="modal-header">
													<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title</h5>
													<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
														<span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
													</button>
												</div>
												<div class="modal-body">
													...
												</div>
												<div class="modal-footer">
													<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
													<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
												</div>
											</div>
										</div>
									</div>
								
							

Scrolling long content

When modals become too long for the user’s viewport or device, they scroll independent of the page itself. Try the demo below to see what we mean.

								
									<!-- Button trigger modal -->
									<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModalLong">
										Launch demo modal
									</button>

									<!-- Modal -->
									<div class="modal fade" id="exampleModalLong" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLongTitle" aria-hidden="true">
										<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
											<div class="modal-content">
												<div class="modal-header">
													<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLongTitle">Modal title</h5>
													<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
														<span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
													</button>
												</div>
												<div class="modal-body">
													...
												</div>
												<div class="modal-footer">
													<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
													<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
												</div>
											</div>
										</div>
									</div>
								
							

Vertically centered

Add .modal-dialog-centered to .modal-dialog to vertically center the modal.

								
									<!-- Button trigger modal -->
									<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModalCenter">
										Launch demo modal
									</button>

									<!-- Modal -->
									<div class="modal fade" id="exampleModalCenter" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalCenterTitle" aria-hidden="true">
										<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered" role="document">
											<div class="modal-content">
												<div class="modal-header">
													<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLongTitle">Modal title</h5>
													<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
														<span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
													</button>
												</div>
												<div class="modal-body">
													Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum. Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Morbi leo risus, porta ac consectetur ac, vestibulum at eros.
												</div>
												<div class="modal-footer">
													<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
													<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
												</div>
											</div>
										</div>
									</div>
								
							

Embedding YouTube videos

Embedding YouTube videos in modals requires additional JavaScript not in Bootstrap to automatically stop playback and more. See this helpful Stack Overflow post for more information.

Optional sizes

Modals have two optional sizes, available via modifier classes to be placed on a .modal-dialog. These sizes kick in at certain breakpoints to avoid horizontal scrollbars on narrower viewports.

									
										<!-- Large modal -->
										<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target=".bd-example-modal-lg">Large modal</button>

										<div class="modal fade bd-example-modal-lg" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
											<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
												<div class="modal-content">
													...
												</div>
											</div>
										</div>

										<!-- Small modal -->
										<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target=".bd-example-modal-sm">Small modal</button>

										<div class="modal fade bd-example-modal-sm" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="mySmallModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
											<div class="modal-dialog modal-sm">
												<div class="modal-content">
													...
												</div>
											</div>
										</div>
									
								

Usage

The modal plugin toggles your hidden content on demand, via data attributes or JavaScript. It also adds .modal-open to the <body> to override default scrolling behavior and generates a .modal-backdrop to provide a click area for dismissing shown modals when clicking outside the modal.

Via data attributes

Activate a modal without writing JavaScript. Set data-toggle="modal" on a controller element, like a button, along with a data-target="#foo" or href="#foo" to target a specific modal to toggle.

									
										<button type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Launch modal</button>
									
								

Via JavaScript

Call a modal with id myModal with a single line of JavaScript:

									
										$('#myModal').modal(options)
									
								

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-backdrop="".

Name	Type	Default	Description
backdrop	boolean or the string 'static'	true	Includes a modal-backdrop element. Alternatively, specify static for a backdrop which doesn't close the modal on click.
keyboard	boolean	true	Closes the modal when escape key is pressed
focus	boolean	true	Puts the focus on the modal when initialized.
show	boolean	true	Shows the modal when initialized.
