Hi im trying to disable outside click in my modal. I've tried using methods like backdrop: 'static', keyboard: false but i cant seem to make it work
html:
<div class="container my-5">
<hr class="my-5">
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="basicExampleModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-
labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true" data-backdrop="static" data-
keyboard="false">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<center><h1 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Want more?</h1></center>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<strong>Create an account or Log in to see additional search results...</strong>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Sign up</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Log In</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
javascript:
$(function() {
$('#basicExampleModal').modal('show');
});
You have couple syntax issues in the code you posted. Ex. extra </button> tag and data- keyboard="false"> has a space in it. Aside from the syntax issues, it should work as expected as you can see from below example. If it still doesn't work on your end, there is something else wrong elsewhere in your code.
$('#basicExampleModal').modal('show');<html lang="en">
<head>

<div class="modal fade" id="basicExampleModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria- labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">

<div class="modal-footer">

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Log In</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>Use this:
$(function() {
$('modal_id').modal('show');
$('modal_id').modal({
keyboard: false,
backdrop: 'static'
})
});
This script will now allow close the modal by clicking outside the modal or by pressing the esc key.
