Error Opening Bootstrap Modal With JavaScript

I'm working on a piece of UI that involves a listing of rows in the database. Each row is editable, and when the edit button is clicked, my intent is to bring up a modal dialogue window with data preloaded in a form via AJAX for editing that specific row as shown in the following picture.
The following code shows a working setup you can play with.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
// console.log('podcast episode list js loaded');
// jQuery('#editModal').modal('show');
});
function loadEditModal(rowID) {
console.log("Clicked row " + rowID + "\n");
//populate the content of the modal window
//jQuery('#editModal').modal('show');
modal1 = bootstrap.Modal.getOrCreateInstance('#editModal');
modal1.show();
}

However, I'm getting the following error in the js console every time the edit button is clicked to display the modal:
Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "backdrop", this._config is undefined
This appears to be due to the fact that I'm launching the modal via javascript with the onclick event. If I change the html and js slightly as follows, and use the "data-bs-target" property of the button to open the modal instead, it all works without js errors.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
// console.log('podcast episode list js loaded');
// jQuery('#editModal').modal('show');
});
function loadEditModal(rowID) {
console.log("Clicked row " + rowID + "\n");

But I can't do it this way because I have to fetch the data to edit with AJAX and populate the body of the modal before I display it. Can anyone clue me in to what I need to do to eliminate the error?

This appears to be due to the fact that I'm launching the modal via javascript with the onclick event.
This is not correct.
The problem occurs because you are using the data-bs-toggle="modal" attribute without specifying what the target is.
If you try to remove the onclick attribute from the button the problem still exist.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary btn-sm" data-bs-toggle="modal">Edit</button>
Just remove the data-bs-toggle="modal" attribute from the edit button and use onclick only.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary btn-sm" onclick="loadEditModal(8)">Edit</button>
I hope it helps

How to prevent Bootstrap Modal from opening when element inside trigger is clicked?

I've set all rows of my table to open a bootstrap modal.
However, inside each row I have a select box with a couple of status that the user must be able to chose.
How can I prevent the modal of opening when the select box is clicked?
Here is my code:
HTML
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Status</th>
</tr>
<tr class="user-row" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">
<td>John Doe</td>
<td>
<select class="form-control status-selection">
<option></option>
<option>Active</option>
<option>Inactive</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="user-row" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">
<td>Jane Doe</td>
<td>
<select class="form-control status-selection">
<option></option>
<option>Active</option>
<option>Inactive</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
...
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Jsfiddle link:

Thanks in advance.

See this fiddle:
$(".user-row select").on("click", function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
The idea is that you stop the click event (e - the first argument of the on callback that is the delegated parameter to the event) bubbling up to .user-row with stopPropagation

You are setting the entire table row to activate the modal. Only set the td to activate the modal.
HTML
<tr class="user-row">
<td data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">John Doe</td>
<td>
<select class="form-control status-selection">
<option></option>
<option>Active</option>
<option>Inactive</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

Many buttons trigger one modal in html table

Node express app using EJS.
I'm creating a table - each cell has a button to trigger a modal. This code is inside a for loop:
<td>
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<!-- Header-->
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
<span class="sr-only">Close</span>
</button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Catalog Numbers</h4>
</div>
<!-- Body -->
<div class="modal-body">
<% for(var j = 0; j < user.notifications.length; j++) { %>
<%= user.notifications[j] %>
<% } %>
</div>
<!-- Footer -->
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="...">
<!-- Button trigger modal -->
<button class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">View Subscribed Products </button><br><br>
</div>
</td>
Every thing loads fine, the rendered html shows that each cell has it's own modal with it's own data but every button triggers myModal and they're all called myModal so every button loads the modal from the first cell.
Is there a way to dynamically create the div id like myModal1, myModal2, etc.?
I've tried
<div class="modal fade" id="<%=user.id%> ...>
Should I be doing this another way?

One such would be to use a single modal, but then vary the modal content based on the trigger button.
What happens is that an event is bound to the modal, which is triggered when the button opens the target modal. You can still hide the modal content inside the table, which the event will find and populate the modal body with.
Here is a simple example which you'll need to adapt to your code:
$(function() {
// when the modal is shown
$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {
var $modal = $(this);
// find the trigger button
var $button = $(e.relatedTarget);
// find the hidden div next to trigger button
var $notifications = $button.siblings('div.hidden');
// transfer content to modal body
$modal.find('.modal-body').html($notifications.html());
})
});

how to pass data to modal using bootsrap

I was trying to figure out how to pass a variable to a model. For example, I have a table that have lists of student. I want to click one of them and have a modal popup that is matching that student. So I obviously need to pass some how the id in the table to the model. This is all in Asp.net using razor. And then after having that model popup I would like to edit and resubmit which then would refresh the table. Perhaps even have a success message. I am using the bootstrap so I was thinking of using the alert to say Successfully Updated! or something.
here is the code. Please help me to resolve this issue.
<body>
<p>
#Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<div class="box-content">
<table class="table table-striped table-bordered bootstrap-datatable datatable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>DNIS </th>
<th>Created by</th>
<th>Created Date</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td> #Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.service_name)</td>
<td class="center"> #Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.dnis)</td>
<td class="center"> #Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.created_by) </td>
<td class="center"> #Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.date_time)</td>
<td class="center">
<a class="btn btn-success" href="~/Service/AssignSkillGroup/#item.service_name">
Add/Del SkillGroup
</a>
<a class="btn btn-info" href="~/Service/Edit/#item.service_name">
<i class="icon-edit icon-white"></i>
Edit
</a>
<a class="btn btn-danger" data-toggle="modal" data-id="#item.service_name" data-target="#myModal" >
<i class="icon-trash icon-white"></i>
Delete
</a>
</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<span class="modal" id="myModal" role="dialog" style="height: 175px">
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Are you sure to want to delete this service ? </h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>If you delete the service, Wrap-up codes will not appear for this service</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<a class="btn btn-default" href="/Service/Delete/">
Delete
<a><button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button> </a>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</span>
</body>

You can use bootstrap dialog event to achieve what you want :
//triggered when modal is about to be shown
$('#my_modal').on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {
//get id attribute of the clicked element (delete button)
var id = $(e.relatedTarget).data('id');
// do what you want with the id ..
});

You can make your modal like the following
<span class="modal" id="myModal" role="dialog" style="height: 175px">
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" onclick="Close()" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Are you sure to want to delete this service ? </h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>If you delete the service, Wrap-up codes will not appear for this service</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<a class="btn btn-default" id="del" >
Yes
</a>
<a class="btn btn-default" onclick="Close()">
No
</a>
</div>
</div>
</span>
The add the following script and call those methods through your delete button and pass the id to the script function.
<script>
function deleteFunction(id) {
$('#myModal').show();
var a = document.getElementById('del');
a.href = "/Service/Delete/" + id;
}
function Close()
{
$('#myModal').hide();
}
</script>

How to pass values from actual row to bootstrap model

I want to edit my data from table(jsp and bootstrap), if i click on a certain edit button, a modal dialog is shown, that already has the values of the row selected. So the bootstrap dialog should contain the values of row that i clicked on.
Table :
<table id="example" class="table table-bordered table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<td >Type</td>
<th>Marque</th>
<th>Date fin</th>
<th>Date prochaine</th>
<th>Résoudre
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<s:iterator value="%{#session['liste']}" status="userStatus">
<tr>
<td class="type" ><s:property value="type" /></td>
<td><s:property value="marque" /></td>
<td><s:date name="dt_fin" format="dd/MM/yyyy"/></td>
<td><s:date name="dt_proch" format="dd/MM/yyyy" /></td>
<td><button class="btn btn-info" onclick="resoudre()" > Résoudre</button>
</td>
</tr>
</s:iterator>
</tbody>
</table>
model :
<!-- COMPOSE MESSAGE MODAL -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true" >
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i> Ajouter assurance</h4>
</div>
<s:form enctype="multipart/form-data" theme="bootstrap">
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="form-group" >
<div class="form-group"><div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-offset-3 col-md-5">
<s:textfield name="type" class="type" cssClass="form-control" label="type" id="type"></s:textfield>
</div></div>
</div></div>
<button type="submit" id="submit" class="btn btn-primary pull-left"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> Enregistrer</button>
</div>
</s:form>
</div><!-- /.modal-content -->
</div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div><!-- /.modal -->
I try with this js code :
function resoudre() {
var myModal = $("#myModal");
// now get the values from the table
var type= $(this).closest("tr").find("td.type").html();
alert(type);
// and set them in the modal:
$('.type', myModal).val(type);
// and finally show the modal
myModal.modal({ show: true });
}
My question is how can i pass values from table to model by clicking on etit button ?

You need to pass the element inside the function call:
onclick="resoudre(this)"
And in your function, use the element passed as parameter:
function resoudre(elem) {
var type= $(elem).closest("tr").find("td.type").html();
}
