Calling a function on Bootstrap modal open
2022-08-30 01:01:33
I used to use jQuery UI's dialog, and it had the option, where you can specify some Javascript code to execute once the dialog is opened. I would have used that option to select the text within the dialog using a function I have.open
Now I want to do that using bootstrap's modal. Below is the HTMl code:
<div id="code" class="modal hide fade">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3>Modal header</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<pre>
print 'Hello World'
And as for the button that opens the modal:
<a href="#code" data-toggle="modal" class="btn code-dialog">Display code</a>
I tried to use an onclick listener of the button, but the alert message was displayed before the modal appeared:
$( ".code-dialog" ).click(function(){
alert("I want this to appear after the modal has opened!");
});
