Bootstrap: Open Another Modal in Modal

Question

So, I\'m using this code to open another modal window in a current opened modal window:

Answer 1

The answer given by H Dog is great, but this approach was actually giving me some modal flicker in Internet Explorer 11. Bootstrap will first hide the modal removing the 'modal-open' class, and then (using H Dogs solution) we add the 'modal-open' class again. I suspect this is somehow causing the flicker I was seeing, maybe due to some slow HTML/CSS rendering.

Another solution is to prevent bootstrap in removing the 'modal-open' class from the body element in the first place. Using Bootstrap 3.3.7, this override of the internal hideModal function works perfectly for me.

$.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.hideModal = function () {
    var that = this
    this.$element.hide()
    this.backdrop(function () {
        if ($(".modal:visible").length === 0) {
            that.$body.removeClass('modal-open')
        }
        that.resetAdjustments()
        that.resetScrollbar()
        that.$element.trigger('hidden.bs.modal')
    })
}

In this override, the 'modal-open' class is only removed when there are no visible modals on the screen. And you prevent one frame of removing and adding a class to the body element.

Just include the override after bootstrap have been loaded.
