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">&times;</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().
