AJAX call not triggered on show.bs.modal

I have a button which is supposed to trigger a modal with a contact form. Part of the show.bs.modal function is an AJAX call to my DB to get some file details which are then meant to be shown in the modal-body.
The problem is that the modal does indeed open, but with no modal-body content, which means that the JavaScript code to trigger to the AJAX call is not working. I do not see any network activity in the browser debug menu, no call to the PHP file, and even an alert on top of the JS code telling me that that a button was pressed is not triggered. It seems like the whole JS code is circumvented, yet the modal still shows.
The same code works in another project, anyone has any idea as to why this is happening?
Button:
<div class="card-footer bg-light text-center">
<button id="modal_btn" name="modal_btn" type="button" class="btn bg-teal-400" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal_contact_form" data-imgid="'.$row['image_id'].'" data-keyboard="true">
<span class="icon-ico-mail4"></span> Anfragen
</button>
</div>
Modal:
<!-- Contact form modal -->
<div id="modal_contact_form" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header bg-teal-300">
<h3 class="modal-title">Kaufanfrage - Artikel #1234</h3>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">

<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-link" data-dismiss="modal">Abbrechen</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn bg-teal-300">Nachricht Senden</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /contact form modal -->
JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
// DISPLAY EDIT RECORD MODAL
$('#modal_contact_form').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
//var button = $(event.relatedTarget) // Button that triggered the modal
window.alert("button clicked.");
var imgid = $(event.relatedTarget).data('imgid') // Extract info from data-* attributes
var modal = $(this);
var dataString = 'action=contact&imgid=' + imgid;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "./assets/ajax/ajax_action.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
modal.find('.modal-body').html(data);
},
error: function(err) {
console.log(err);
}
});
});
</script>

try this:
$(document).on('show.bs.modal','#modal_contact_form', function (event) {
// TODO ....
});
Or you can use the onclick button trigger instead of modal show trigger
$("#modal_btn").click(function(event){
// TODO ...
});

Try This
const bsModal = document.querySelector('#exampleModal');
$(bsModal).on('shown.bs.modal', function() {
// YOUR CODE HERE....
})

Converting Bootstrap 3 remote modal to Bootstrap 4 modal with parameters

So in the near future my shop is going to upgrade to Bootstrap 4 but we cannot do this until we solve the issue with using remote modals. Here is an example of how we load our modals. The reason we use remote modals is because the modal-body is dynamic and may use different file based on the url. I have heard that using jQuery("#newsModal").on("load",..) is an alternative but how could I do this? I found this but I am not sure how my anchor would look and how to build the url to load the remote data.
Global PHP include file:
<div id="NewsModal" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" data-
ajaxload="true" aria-labelledby="newsLabel" 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>
<h3 class="newsLabel"></h3>
</div>
<div class="noscroll-modal-body">
<div class="loading">
<span class="caption">Loading...</span>
<img src="/images/loading.gif" alt="loading">
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer caption">
<button class="btn btn-right default modal-close" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
modal_news.php file:
<form id="newsForm">
<div id="hth_err_msg" class="alert alert-danger display-hide col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
You have some errors. Please check below.
</div>
<div id="hth_ok_msg" class="alert alert-success display-hide col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
✔ Ready
</div>
<!-- details //-->
</form>
Here is how we trigger the modals :
<a href="#newsModal" id="modal_sbmt" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#newsModal"
onclick="remote='modal_news.php?USER=yardpenalty&PKEY=54&FUNCTION=*GENERAL'; remote_target='#NewsModal .noscroll-modal-body'">
<span class="label label-icon label-info">
<i class="fa fa-bullhorn"></i>
</span>
Promotional Ordering
</a>
I think I need to do something like this when building anchor dynamically:
a) Replace paramters with data-attrs
b) Use the event invoker to get the data-attrs using event.target.id

Thanks to Tieson T. and this post I was able to effectively pass parameters to the remote modal using this technique except if you have multiple modals
I have also included some helpful techniques inside this example as to how you may pass parameters to the remote modal.

NOTE: I am having problems with event propagation during the show.bs.modal event which I have a global show.bs.modal that is propagating up to this event handler due to multiple modals so if you have multiple modals make sure to handle them correctly.
Here is a screen shot of the results which clearly show propagation is taking place but the parameter passing techniques are working.

You might find it easier to use something like Bootbox.js, which can be used to dynamically create Bootstrap modals.
Given what you've shown, it would work something like:
trigger modal
with
$(function(){
$('.show-modal').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr('href');
$.get(url)
.done(function(response, status, jqxhr) {
bootbox.dialog({
title: 'Your Title Here',
message: response
});
});
});
});
This assumes response is an HTML fragment.
Bootbox hasn't officially been confirmed to work with Bootstrap 4, but I haven't run into any problems with it yet (modals seem to be one of the few components that don't have updated markup in BS4).
Disclaimer: I am currently a contributor to Bootbox (mainly updating the documentation and triaging issues).
If you must use only the Bootstrap modal, you're actually after load(). You would probably do something like:
$(function(){
$('.show-modal').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr('href');
var dialog = $('#NewsModal').clone();
dialog.load(url, function(){
dialog.modal('show');
});
});
});

Javascript waiting result of modal

I have a simple question about javascript and bootstrap modal. I have a wizard where I use file upload form, so I check the name of the file and if it doesn't contains some string I have to show a modal where ask if you want to continue anyway. How can I know which button is clicked into modal from javascript or jquery?
I have this code:
if (index==3){
var fileControl = document.getElementById('file');
//Check if the datatable name contains idFLeet and IdCar. REturn -1 if it not contains the string
if (fileControl.files[0].name.indexOf($("#selectedFleet").val()) > -1 && fileControl.files[0].name.indexOf($("#selectedCar").val()) > -1){
//File contains id so you can continue the upload
uploadFunction();
}
else{
$('#warningDatatableModal').modal("show");
//If click on Yes call uploadFunction
//If click on No return false
}
}
HTML modal code:
<div class="modal" id="warningDatatableModal" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false">
<div class="modal modal-warning">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"
aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Warning</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>There is a incongruity between file name and fleet and
car previously selected. Are you sure to continue?</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button id="close" type="button" class="btn btn-outline pull-left"
data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button id="continueButton" type="button" class="btn btn-outline">Continue</button>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /.modal-content -->
</div>
<!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div>
</div>
After Yeldar Kurmangaliyev advice I have update my code but the wizard go ahed to the next tab instead of waiting into actual tab
if (index==3){
var fileControl = document.getElementById('file');
//Check if the datatable name contains idFLeet and IdCar. REturn -1 if it not contains the string
if (fileControl.files[0].name.indexOf($("#selectedFleet").val()) > -1 && fileControl.files[0].name.indexOf($("#selectedCar").val()) > -1){
//File contains id so you can continue the upload
uploadFunction();
}
else{
$('#warningDatatableModal').modal("show");
$(".modal-footer > button").click(function() {
clicked = $(this).text();
$("#warningDatatableModal").modal('hide');
});
$("#warningDatatableModal").on('hide.bs.modal', function() {
if (clicked === "Cancel"){
return false;
}else {
uploadFunction();
}
});
}
}
If I put this code out of wizard works(it doesn't close modal with cancel button because I use return false that needs for my wizard), but I need to stop wizard waiting modal result.

You can simply attach events to your buttons.
However, the user may want to close the window without action. The design of modal UI and its overlay suggests to click outside the window and close it.
In order to create an event which will fire event always when a user closes your modal, you need to attach to hide.bs.modal event:
$('#warningDatatableModal').on('hide.bs.modal', function() {
});
Here is the working JSFiddle demo.

You can try using the ids of the buttons and attaching a listener to see when they have been clicked like so:
$('#close').on('click',function(){
//do something
});
$('#continueButton').on('click',function(){
//do something
});

Bootstrap modal not closing after form submission

I believe I will get a solution here, bootstrap modal does not disappear after form submission. I only want to make bootstrap modal disappear after form submission and when again button is clicked (without refreshing the page) form should open, send data and modal should disappears and so on... This is it !
Here is a bootstrap modal:
<div class="modal fade myPopup" id="basicModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog"
aria-labelledby="basicModal" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog" id="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" id="myModalLabel">Add New Board</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<form class="create_Category_board" id="myform">
<input type="text"
id="customInput"
class="board_name"
name="board[name]"
placeholder="Board Name ..." />
<input type="text"
class="board_description"
name="board[description]"
placeholder="Board Description ..." />
<input type="hidden"
class="board_description"
id="myCid"
name="board[category_id]" />
<input type="submit" value="Create Board" class="ShowFormButton"/>
</form>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
My form is bound with backbone JS function:
events: {
"submit form.create_Category_board": "createCategoryBoard"
},
createCategoryBoard: function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var that = this;
// get form attrs, reset form
var $form = $(event.target);
var attrs = $form.serializeJSON();
$form[0].reset();
var board = new Kanban.Models.Board();
// fail if no board name
if (!attrs.board.name) {
var $createContainer = $("div.create_board");
var $nameInput = that.$el.find("input.board_name");
$createContainer.effect("shake", {
distance: 9,
times: 2,
complete: function() {
$nameInput.show();
$nameInput.focus();
}
}, 350);
return false;
}
attrs.board.category_id = myid;
var category = Kanban.categories.get(myid);
var boards = category.get("assigned_boards");
// save list
board.save(attrs.board, {
success: function(data) {
board.get("users").add(Kanban.currentUser);
boards.add(board);
// keep focus on list input
that.$el.find("input.board_name").focus();
}
});
$('#basicModal').modal('hide');
}
As a last line in above function I have tried most popular solution $('#basicModal').modal('hide'); available on web! It makes my modal look like this:
i.e. it not hides the modal, moreover make screen black and change the direction of bootstrap modal from center of screen to little right. May be it is overridden by CSS of JS. But I am not sure.

I am posting my own answer because if some one needs a quicker help, then may be it is helpful:
Just replace: $('#basicModal').modal('hide'); with this line:
$(".modal-header button").click(); which is last line of my JS function.
Cheers :)

Problem is that div.modal-backdrop remains after you hide the modal,
you can see it in developer tools.Try simple remove
$('#basicModal').modal('hide');
$('.modal-backdrop').remove();
Cheers

Modal Form Submission without refresh

I have a modal window that pops up when I want to add a new project to my dashboard. I have gotten it to work with jquery post however, I cannot prevent it from refreshing. What I want to do is after the project is added to the database, show a success message and close the modal window after few seconds and not refresh the page (parent page of modal).
Here is my modal
<div class="modal fade" id="add-project-dialog" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="basicModal" 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">&times;</button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Add a new Project</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<h3>New Project:</h3>
<form class="form-horizontal" id="add-project-form" action="/projects/add" method="POST">
<fieldset>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="name">Project Name</label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" placeholder="" class="form-control input-md">
</div>
</div>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="description">Project Description</label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<input id="description" name="description" type="text" placeholder="" class="form-control input-md">
</div>
</div>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="project_state">Project State</label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<input id="project_state" name="project_state" type="text" placeholder="" class="form-control input-md">
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button id="add-btn" class="btn" type="submit">Add</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Here is my project-dashboard.js
AddProject = function(){
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#submit").submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "/projects/add",
type:"POST",
data:
{
'name': $('#name').val(),
'description': $('#description').val(),
'project_state': $('#project_state').val()
}
});
});
});
}
My views.py
class AddProject(webapp2.RedirectHandler):
def get(self):
template_values = {
#'greetings': greetings,
#'url_linktext': url_linktext,
}
path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../templates/project-add.html')
self.response.write(template.render(path, template_values))
def post(self):
project = Project()
project.name = self.request.get('name')
project.description = self.request.get('description')
project.project_state = self.request.get('project_state')
time.sleep(2)
project.put()
self.redirect('/projects')
I have tried removing the self.redirect('/projects') however that only takes me to a blank page that is /projects/add (that is the action in the form).

The issue is that you added .ready(foo) handler inside of the AddProject function. I suppose that document is loaded when AddProject is called.
Another issue is that in your HTML, the form has id add-project-form, so you should do $("#add-project-form") instead of $("#submit").
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#add-project-form").submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "/projects/add",
type:"POST",
data:
{
'name': $('#name').val(),
'description': $('#description').val(),
'project_state': $('#project_state').val()
}
});
});
});
});
Take ready handler outside of the AddProject function and it should work (the submit handler is added).

Edit: After some debugging, the answer was to use the right id and proper placing of the javascript code, as noted by the comments.
For starters, a refresh is easy to avoid, just make sure to prevent the default event from running; since you're using jQuery, I would recommend doing return false to end the function, since it both 'prevents default' and 'stops propagation'.
So the first thing you should do is check if your javascript code is actually running and not erring in the middle of execution. If everything is fine there, the worst case is that the project is not actually added (server side error) but the page should not refresh.
Your server side code has nothing to do with the refresh (if it's being properly hijacked), so the response doesn't really matter, I would actually return the id of the new project (so you could provide a link for the newly created item or something like that), but i digress...

Here is a snippet for not only closing modals without page refresh but when pressing enter it submits modal and closes without refresh
I have it set up on my site where I can have multiple modals and some modals process data on submit and some don't. What I do is create a unique ID for each modal that does processing. For example in my webpage:
HTML (modal footer):
<div class="modal-footer form-footer"><br>
<span class="caption">
<button id="PreLoadOrders" class="btn btn-md green btn-right" type="button" disabled>Add to Cart <i class="fa fa-shopping-cart"></i></button>
<button id="ClrHist" class="btn btn-md red btn-right" data-dismiss="modal" data-original-title="" title="Return to Scan Order Entry" type="cancel">Cancel <i class="fa fa-close"></i></a>
</span>
</div>
jQUERY:
$(document).ready(function(){
// Allow enter key to trigger preloadorders form
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
if($(".trigger").is(".ok")) //custom validation dont copy
$("#PreLoadOrders").trigger("click");
else
return;
}
});
});
As you can see this submit performs processing which is why I have this jQuery for this modal. Now let's say I have another modal within this webpage but no processing is performed and since one modal is open at a time I put another $(document).ready() in a global php/js script that all pages get and I give the modal's close button a class called: ".modal-close":
HTML:
<div class="modal-footer caption">
<button type="submit" class="modal-close btn default" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Close</button>
</div>
jQuery (include global.inc):
$(document).ready(function(){
// Allow enter key to trigger a particular class button
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) {
if($(".modal").is(":visible")){
$(".modal:visible").find(".modal-close").trigger('click');
}
}
});
});
Now you should get no page refreshes on any of your modals if u follow these steps.
