Clear modal fields after closing modal

I have this modal
<form id="contactModal">
<div id="mymodal2" class="" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
<span class="modal-title th2" id="lblModalLabel" name="lblModalLabel">Contact</span>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
What I want is to clear modal every time its closed so I wrote a script like this:
function clear() {
$("#txtNombreCompleto").val("");
$("#txtNombreEmpresa").val("");
$("#exampleInputEmail2").val("");
$("#dropOficina").val("");
$("#txtTelefono").val("");
$("#txtMensaje").val("");
}
$('#mymodal').on('hidden', function(){
$.clear(this)
});
So my inputs inside the modal are something like this:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="txtNombreCompleto" name="txtNombreCompleto" placeholder="Nombre completo">
But when I close the modal, it doesn´t run the function, how can I run the function when the modal closes? Regards

Simply call clear(); inside bootstrap modal hide.bs.modal event(or hidden.bs.modal) handler or set the function as callback. Also put your code inside document ready handler for attaching event handler after loading the page.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#mymodal').on('hidden', function() {
clear()
});
});
or get all form all elements inside modal and set value
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#mymodal').on('hidden', function() {
$(':input', this).val('');
});
});

I tried this code in my project but it didn't work. So I tried this new code
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function(){
$(this).find('form')[0].reset();
});
});

$('.btnLogMesaj').click(function () { // your button is clicked
$('div#demo').empty(); // clear the "div" of the id "demo"
*
*
*
});
<div class="modal-body">
<div id="demo">
<h4>... Merve's contents </h4>
</div>

Quicksand.js interfering with Bootstrap Modals

I've been trying to make a lightbox portfolio using the Bootstrap Modal functions, with the quicksand sorting plug-in. I originally followed this tutorial which I had to work with a little to get to work in Bootstrap 3.0.0 (the version I'm using), but it was working. I decided I needed more control over the modal boxes so I took out the bootbox plug-in and just used the modal js that comes in bootstrap. Now when I press the thumbnail the modal box pops up fine, but if I press one of the sorting nav buttons, the box will pop up with either the last image that was in the modal (not the correct one) or if the first thing you do is sort then click, the modal box pops up but it is empty. The tutorial mentioned the problem and a work-around:
"Inherently, Quicksand will nullify Bootstrap’s modal feature as soon
as you interact with any of the categories. That is, the modal works
before firing Quicksand, but not after. However, we’ve easily avoided
this issue by defining our Bootbox function earlier. As shown above,
we then used “gallery” as an attribute inside the quicksand() function
and setup $(document).ready(gallery);. Now modal will work as expected
both before and after selecting a filter/category."
but it doesn't seem to work with the normal bootstrap modal. The only similar question I could find is this one, the answer was to add a call-back, since the objects sorted by quicksand are actually new objects that have not been affected by the modal script, but when I added the callback it didn't work.
here is my code (I left out all the other thumbnails)
<div class="container well well-lg">
<ul class="filter nav nav-pills">
<li data-value="all"><h6>All</h6></li>
<li data-value="Historical"><h6>Historical</h6></li>
...
</ul>
<hr>
<ul class="thumbnails">
<li class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-xs-4" data-id="id-1" data-type="Historical">
<a class="thumbnail" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" id="joan1" href="#" data-image-id="" data-title="Joan of Arc" data-caption="Digital, Junior Thesis subject Crime and Punishment, 2015" data-image="/images/joan1.png">
<img alt="" src="/images/thumb_joan1.png"></a>
</li>
...
</ul>
</div>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal modal-wide fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">

});
});
$holder.quicksand($filteredData, {
duration: 800,

}, gallery);
$(document).ready(gallery);
</script>
and here is the live page where you can see the problem. I'm pretty new to this so hopefully I just messed up something basic and fixable. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi your thumbnail click event does not trigger after filtering, when filtering you are creating a clone of the elements and adding them to back to the DOM, Therefore your trying to bind a click event to elements that are not on the page yet, to fix bind to an element that's is always on the page, then use your variable 'setClickAttr' for the Selector filter
i.e change
$(setClickAttr).on('click', function () {
....
});
to
$(document).on('click', setClickAttr, function() {
....
});
This Turning live() into on() in jQuery talks more about binding to elements that must exist first

How clear the previous data while open the bootstrap modal?

Main page contains the google map(div), after selecting state from map, i will try to open bootstrap modal and load the selected county map inside the bootstrap.
Firsttime click Texas state(javascript ShowModalDialog() called) then bootstrap modal alert shows Texas then close.
Second time Ohio is selected, now first alert showing Texas then Ohio.
Why the previous state is showing here?
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowModalDialog(stateid) {
$('#myModal').modal('show').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
alert(stateid);
$("#myModal #myModalLabel").html(document.getElementById("statename").value);
var datajson = GetCountyData(stateid);
});
}
</script>
<!-- Modal -->

I think this is bug in bootstrap, because i have several ways to clear modal
$('body').on('hidden.bs.modal', '.modal', function () {
$(this).removeData('bs.modal');
});
But stil got no 'perfect' solutin, becasue with every new call, modal on screen goes a little down, than in firebug i saw there is a lots of modal there just hidden, than i found
http://bootboxjs.com/
And all my problem were solved
$("#myModal").on("hide", function() { // remove the event listeners when the dialog is dismissed
$("#myModal a.btn").off("click");
});
$("#myModal").on("hidden", function() { // remove the actual elements from the DOM when fully hidden
$("#myModal").remove();
});
$("#myModal").modal({ // wire up the actual modal functionality and show the dialog
"backdrop" : "static",
"keyboard" : true,
"show" : true // ensure the modal is shown immediately
});

How to reset the bootstrap modal when it gets closed and open it fresh again?

I have a list box in the bootstrap modal and a button.
When the button is clicked a new button gets rendered inside a div in the modal.
When I close the modal and reopen it, the last operation performed on the modal like the button rendered earlier is still present in the modal.
How do reset the modal so that when the modal is opened again, the button is not present and user can again select the option from the list box and click on the button to render a new button and so on.
<!-- Modal -->
<div
class="modal fade"

<script>
$(function () {
$(".modal-footer").click(function () {
$(".modal").modal("hide");
});
});
</script>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
-- Update ---
Why doesn't this work?
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#myModal").on("hidden.bs.modal", function (e) {
console.log("Modal hidden");
$("#placeholder-div1").html("");
});
});
</script>

Just reset any content manually when modal is hidden:
$(".modal").on("hidden.bs.modal", function(){
$(".modal-body1").html("");
});
There is more events. More about them here
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".modal").on("hidden.bs.modal", function() {
$(".modal-body1").html("Where did he go?!?!?!");
});
});

Tried it and working well
$('#MyModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
$(this).find('form').trigger('reset');
})
reset is dom build-in funtion, you can also use $(this).find('form')[0].reset();
And Bootstrap's modal class exposes a few events for hooking into modal functionality, detail at here.
hide.bs.modal This event is fired immediately when the hide instance
method has been called.
hidden.bs.modal This event is fired when the modal has finished being
hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).

What helped for me, was to put the following line in the ready function:
$(document).ready(function()
{
..
...
// codes works on all bootstrap modal windows in application
$('.modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function(e)
{
$(this).removeData();
}) ;
...
..
});
When a modal window is closed and opened again, the previous entered and selected values, will be reset to the initial values.
I hope this will help you as well!

Try cloning, then removing and re-adding the element when the modal is hidden. This should keep all events, though I haven't thoroughly tested this with all versions of everything.
var originalModal = $('#myModal').clone();
$(document).on('#myModal', 'hidden.bs.modal', function () {
$('#myModal').remove();
var myClone = originalModal.clone();
$('body').append(myClone);
});

To reset all the input fields in a modal use the following.
$(".modal-body input").val("")

Here's an alternative solution.
If you're doing a lot of changes to the DOM (add/removing elements and classes), there could be several things that need to be "reset." Rather than clearing each element when the modal closes, you could reset the entire modal everytime it's reopened.
Sample code:
(function(){
var template = null
$('.modal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
if (template == null) {
template = $(this).html()
} else {
$(this).html(template)
}
// other initialization here, if you want to
})
})()
You can still write your initial state in HTML without worrying too much about what will happen to it later. You can write your UI JS code without worrying about having to clean up later. Each time the modal is relaunched it will be reset to the exact same state it was in the first time.
Edit: Here's a version that should handle multiple modals (I haven't tested it)...
(function(){
$('.modal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
if (!$(this).data('template')) {
$(this).data('template', $(this).html())
} else {
$(this).html($this.data('template'))
}
// other initialization here, if you want to
})
})()

(function(){
$(".modal").on("hidden.bs.modal", function(){
$(this).removeData();
});
});
This is perfect solution to remove contact while hide/close bootstrap modal.

That's works for me accurately
let template = null;
$('.modal').on('show.bs.modal', function(event) {
template = $(this).html();
});
$('.modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function(e) {
$(this).html(template);
});

also, you can clone your modal before open ;)
$('#myModal')
.clone()
.modal()
.on('hidden.bs.modal', function(e) {
$(this).remove();
});

Reset form elements ( Works with bootstrap 5 as well). Sample code :
$(document).on("hidden.bs.modal", "#modalid", function () {
$(this).find('#form')[0].reset();
});

you can try this
$('body').on('hidden.bs.modal', '.modal', function () {
$(this).removeData('bs.modal');
});
It will remove all the data from the model and reset it.

I am using BS 3.3.7 and i have a problem when i open a modal then close it, the modal contents keep on the client side no html("") no clear at all. So i used this to remove completely the code inside the modal div.
Well, you may ask why the padding-right code, in chrome for windows when open a modal from another modal and close this second modal the stays with a 17px padding right.
Hope it helps...
$(document)
.on('shown.bs.modal', '.modal', function () {
$(document.body).addClass('modal-open')
})
.on('hidden.bs.modal', '.modal', function () {
$(document.body).removeClass('modal-open')
$(document.body).css("padding-right", "0px");
$(this).removeData('bs.modal').find(".modal-dialog").empty();
})

Sample code:
$(document).on('hide.bs.modal', '#basicModal', function (e) {
$('#basicModal').empty();
});

The below statements show how to open/reopen Modal without using bootstrap.
Add two classes in css
And then use the below jQuery to reopen the modal if it is closed.
.hide_block
{
display:none !important;
}
.display_block
{
display:block !important;
}
$("#Modal").removeClass('hide_block');
$("#Modal").addClass('display_block');
$("Modal").show("slow");
It worked fine for me :)

Using BS 3.3.7
$("#yourModal").on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
$(this).data('bs.modal', null); // will clear all element inside modal
});

/* this will change the HTML content with the new HTML that you want to update in your modal without too many resets... */
var = ""; //HTML to be changed
$(".classbuttonClicked").click(function() {
$('#ModalDivToChange').html(var);
$('#myModal').modal('show');
});

Reset form inside the modal. Sample Code:
$('#myModal').on('hide.bs.modal', '#myModal', function (e) {
$('#myModal form')[0].reset();
});

To reset/clear all input fields from bootstrap modal use the following code:
$(".modal-body input").val("")
To hide/close bootstrap modal use the following code:
$('#yourModalId').modal('hide');

prevent bootstrap modal window from closing on form submission

Hi I'm using Bootstrap for the first time and I can't get my modal form to stay open on clicking the submit button.
I've searched SO but all related questions deal with slightly different issues (example below).
Disallow twitter bootstrap modal window from closing

Remove the following:
data-dismiss = "modal"
From the button that should not close the dialog. After that, you can close the dialog by using $( "#TheDialogID" ).modal( "hide" ). Example:
<!--<SimpleModalBox>-->
<div class="modal fade" id="SimpleModalBox" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="SimpleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<!--<modal-dialog>-->
<div class = "modal-dialog">
<!--<modal-content>-->
<div class = "modal-content">
<div class = "modal-header">
<button type = "button" class = "close" data-dismiss = "modal">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
<h4 class = "modal-title" id = "SimpleModalLabel">Title for a simple modal</h4>
</div>
<div id="TheBodyContent" class = "modal-body">
Put your content here
</div>
<div class = "modal-footer">
<button type = "button" class = "btn btn-default" data-dismiss = "modal">Yes</button>
<button type = "button" class = "btn btn-default" onclick="doSomethingBeforeClosing()">Don't close</button>
<button type = "button" class = "btn btn-default" data-dismiss = "modal">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
<!--<modal-content>-->
</div>
<!--/modal-dialog>-->
</div>
<!--</SimpleModalBox>-->
Javascript code:
//#region Dialogs
function showSimpleDialog() {
$( "#SimpleModalBox" ).modal();
}
function doSomethingBeforeClosing() {
//Do something. For example, display a result:
$( "#TheBodyContent" ).text( "Operation completed successfully" );
//Close dialog in 3 seconds:
setTimeout( function() { $( "#SimpleModalBox" ).modal( "hide" ) }, 3000 );
}
//#endregion Dialogs

look at => http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/javascript.html#modals
use
data-backdrop="static"
or
$("#yourModal").modal({"backdrop": "static"});
Edit1 :
on your link opening your modal ==>
yourModal
Edit2 :
http://jsfiddle.net/BVmUL/39/

This is how I did in my program, hope it helps.
This is the button which triggers the modal. Here I have disabled the keyboard and mouse click outside the modal.
<button type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modalDivId"
data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false">
This is the modal div, with a form and a submit button. Replace ... with your modal content.
<div class="modal fade" id="modalDivId" role="dialog">
<form>
...
<button type="submit" onClick="myFunction()" class="btn btn-success">
Submit
</button>
</form>
</div>
Finally the function which triggers when you click submit button. Here event.preventDefault(); will prevent the default action of form submit, so that the modal will remain.
function myFunction() {
$("form").on("submit", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "yoururl",
type: "POST",
data: yourData,
success: function (result) {
console.log(result)
}
});
})
}

If you want to add multiple data and you want modal to stay open use
<button type="button"></button>
and If you want to close the modal after submitting data you must use
<button type="submit"></button>

I ran into the similar problem where I use modal as a form so I cannot initially set data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false" because I want the user to be able to close it as long as he has not submitted the form. Once he has submitted the form, I want to prevent him from closing the form modal. Here is how I can get around.
$('#modalForm').on('submit', function() {
$(#modal).on('hide.bs.modal', function ( e ) {
e.preventDefault();
})
});

Use this to prevent bootstrap modal window from closing on form submission
$( "form" ).submit(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
});

use below code only:-
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#myModal").modal('show');
});
and write your html code in update panel then remove data-dismiss="modal" from the button. Hope it works for you.
