Modal
Use Bootstrap’s JavaScript modal plugin to add dialogs to your site for lightboxes, user notifications, or completely custom content.
Examples
Toggle a working modal demo by clicking the button below. It will slide down and fade in from the top of the page.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#exampleModal"> Launch demo modal</button><div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title</h5> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> Woo-hoo, you're reading this text in a modal! </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Save changes</button> </div> </div> </div></div>Static backdrop
When backdrop is set to static, the modal will not close when clicking outside of it. Click the button below to try it.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#staticBackdrop"> Launch static backdrop modal</button><div class="modal fade" id="staticBackdrop" data-bs-backdrop="static" data-bs-keyboard="false" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="staticBackdropLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="staticBackdropLabel">Modal title</h5> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> I will not close if you click outside of me. Don't even try to press escape key. </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Understood</button> </div> </div> </div></div>Scrolling long content
When modals become too long for the user’s viewport or device, they scroll independent of the page itself. Try the demo below to see what we mean.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#scrollable"> Launch static backdrop modal</button><div class="modal fade" id="scrollable" data-bs-keyboard="false" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="scrollableLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-scrollable"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="scrollableLabel">Modal title</h5> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> This is some placeholder content to show the scrolling behavior for modals.

Add .modal-dialog-top, .modal-dialog-bottom to .modal-dialog to vertically center the modal.

Toggle between multiple modals with some clever placement of the data-bs-target and data-bs-toggle attributes. For example, you could toggle a password reset modal from within an already open sign in modal. Please note multiple modals cannot be open at the same time—this method simply toggles between two separate modals.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#exampleModalToggle"> Open first modal </button> <div class="modal fade" id="exampleModalToggle" aria-hidden="true" aria-labelledby="exampleModalToggleLabel" tabindex="-1"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalToggleLabel">Modal 1</h5> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> Show a second modal and hide this one with the button below. </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-target="#exampleModalToggle2" data-bs-toggle="modal">Open second modal</button> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="modal fade" id="exampleModalToggle2" aria-hidden="true" aria-labelledby="exampleModalToggleLabel2" tabindex="-1"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalToggleLabel2">Modal 2</h5> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> Hide this modal and show the first with the button below. </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-target="#exampleModalToggle" data-bs-toggle="modal">Back to first</button> </div> </div> </div> </div>Optional sizes
Modals have three optional sizes, available via modifier classes to be placed on a .modal-dialog. These sizes kick in at certain breakpoints to avoid horizontal scrollbars on narrower viewports.
| Size | Class | Modal max-width |
|---|---|---|
| Small | .modal-sm | 300px |
| Default | None | 500px |
| Large | .modal-lg | 800px |
| Extra large | .modal-xl | 1140px |
<div class="modal-dialog modal-xl">...</div><div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">...</div><div class="modal-dialog modal-sm">...</div>Fullscreen Modal
Another override is the option to pop up a modal that covers the user viewport, available via modifier classes that are placed on a .modal-dialog.
| Class | Availability | |
|---|---|---|
.modal-fullscreen | Always | |
.modal-fullscreen-sm-down | 576px | |
.modal-fullscreen-md-down | 768px | |
.modal-fullscreen-lg-down | 992px | |
.modal-fullscreen-xl-down | 1200px | |
.modal-fullscreen-xxl-down | 1400px |
<div class="modal-dialog modal-fullscreen-sm-down"> ...</div>
