I have a controller in my Rails application which calls a js partial when a certain condition is met:
my_controller
if false == validation_result
render :partial => 'my/show_modal.js.erb'
end
_show_modal.js.erb
$("#modal_content").html("<%= escape_javascript(render 'my/show_modal') %>");
$("#notify").modal('show');
The html.erb called from above code renders a modal as shown below:
_show_modal.html.erb
<div class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" id="notify" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content" style="width:1000px;margin-left:-285px !important;">
<div class="modal-body">
<h3 class="modal-title">Please review</h3>
<span style="float: right">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The modal renders fine; but when I click on Ok
button on the modal, the modal dismisses fine as well but leaves behind a light gray scheme on the entire webpage (the webpage seems to loose focus and I have to refresh the page to be able to use it again)!
What am I doing wrong here? How do I dismiss the modal completely so that the webpage could be used again?
UPDATE:
I tried almost all the approaches suggested in how to destroy bootstrap modal window completely? but NONE of them work for me.
I even posted comments on a few approaches listed on the above page stating the backdrop still does not go away for me.
