Implementing jQuery DatePicker in Bootstrap modal
Created jsfiddle for my issue http://jsfiddle.net/sudiptabanerjee/93eTU/
In modal window issue is on Change Month and Change Year combos.
a) IE 11: everything is working as expected b) Chrome Version 31, On month combo select, bootstrap modal hides. c) Firefox v26, Month and Year dropdown is not functional.
Please help.
HTML
<!-- Button trigger modal -->
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Launch demo modal</button>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" 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" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="row">
<label for="idTourDateDetails">Tour Start Date:</label>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" name="idTourDateDetails" id="idTourDateDetails" readonly="readonly" class="form-control clsDatePicker"> <span class="input-group-addon"><i id="calIconTourDateDetails" class="glyphicon glyphicon-th"></i></span>
</div>
</div>Alt Field:
<input type="text" name="idTourDateDetailsHidden" id="idTourDateDetailsHidden">
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /.modal-content -->
</div>
<!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div>
<!-- /.modal -->
CSS
.clsDatePicker {
z-index: 100000;
}
JS
$('#idTourDateDetails').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy',
minDate: '+5d',
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
altField: "#idTourDateDetailsHidden",
altFormat: "yy-mm-dd"
});
Solution 1:
This is because the modal enforces focus on itself. Here is a solution for this as mentioned here . Add the below script to your js file. That's it.
Working Demo
jQuery
// Since confModal is essentially a nested modal it's enforceFocus method
// must be no-op'd or the following error results
// "Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded"
// But then when the nested modal is hidden we reset modal.enforceFocus
var enforceModalFocusFn = $.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus;
$.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus = function() {};
$confModal.on('hidden', function() {
$.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus = enforceModalFocusFn;
});
$confModal.modal({ backdrop : false });
For Bootstrap 4:
replace : $.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus
By: $.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype._enforceFocus
Solution 2:
jQuery
version of @crftr answer
var enforceModalFocusFn = $.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus;
$.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus = function() {};
try{
$confModal.on('hidden', function() {
$.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus = enforceModalFocusFn;
});
$confModal.modal({ backdrop : false });
}
catch (error) {
if(error.name != 'ReferenceError')
throw error;
}
Solution 3:
MORE EASY... just need to comment this line into your boostrap.js that.enforceFocus().
