Bootstrap 2 Modals on 1 Page? - html

Question

I am trying to make 2 modals on one page, one for a sign in form, the other for a signup form. Below are the declarations
<div class="modal fade" id="signUpModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal fade" id="signInModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
And here are the links that show the modals:
<a class="nav-link" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#signUpModal">Sign Up</a>
<a class="nav-link" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#signInModal">Sign In</a>
When I click the link to #signUpModal it works fine, however when I click the link to #signInModal, nothing happens, no modal is shown. If i then click the link to #signUpModal, the #signInModal then shows stacked on top of the #signUpModal.
How do I get the 2nd modal to appear correctly?

Use code as below:
NOTE!
put attention that you don't set same id twice... id is uniqe and you can use it once in each page(for eample:id="exampleModalLabel" so in second model set id="exampleModalLabel2")
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

use href="#idOfModal" when using with a , use data-target="#idOfModal" when using button
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-MCw98/SFnGE8fJT3GXwEOngsV7Zt27NXFoaoApmYm81iuXoPkFOJwJ8ERdknLPMO" crossorigin="anonymous">

Answer 3

YMMV, but the only way I was able to get this to work was putting the id into the modal class attribute. (it was ignoring the id attribute for some reason)
So instead of
<div class="modal fade" id="sampleDataModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="sampleDataModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
I had to use:
<div class="modal fade sampleDataModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="sampleDataModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<! Modal Pair>
<dl class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-success btn-block" data-toggle="modal"
data-target=".sampleDataModal">
View Some Stuff
</button>
<div class="modal fade sampleDataModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="sampleDataModalLabel"
aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-xl modal-dialog-scrollable">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="sampleDataModalLabel">Sample Stuff</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
some stuff
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-3">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-success btn-block" data-toggle="modal"
data-target=".otherModal">
View Other Stuff
</button>
<div class="modal fade otherModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="otherModalLabel"
aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-xl">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="otherModalLabel">Other Modal
</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
other stuff
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</dl>
