Reload content in modal (twitter bootstrap)

I'm using twitter bootstrap's modal popup. 

<div id="myModal" class="modal hide fade in">
    <div class="modal-header">
        <a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
        <h3>Header</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body"></div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
        <input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" value="Save"/>
    </div>
</div>

I can load content using ajax with this a-element:

<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href="edit.aspx">Open modal</a>

Now I have to open the same modal but using a different url. I'm using this modal to edit an entity from my database. So when I click edit on an entity I need to load the modal with an ID. 

<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href="edit.aspx?id=1">Open modal</a>
<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href="edit.aspx?id=2">Open modal</a>
<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href="edit.aspx?id=3">Open modal</a>

If I click on link number 1, it works fine. But if I then click on link number 2 the modal content is already loaded and therefor it will show the content from link number 1.

How can I refresh or reset the ajax loaded content in a twitter bootstrap modal popup?

I guess the way of doing this will be to remove the data-toggle attribute and have a custom handler for the links.

Something in the lines of:

$("a[data-target=#myModal]").click(function(ev) {
    ev.preventDefault();
    var target = $(this).attr("href");
    
    // load the url and show modal on success
    $("#myModal .modal-body").load(target, function() { 
         $("#myModal").modal("show"); 
    });
});

step 1 : Create a wrapper for the modal called clone-modal-wrapper.

step 2 : Create a blank div called modal-wrapper.

Step 3 : Copy the modal element from clone-modal-wrapper to modal-wrapper.

step 4 : Toggle the modal of modal-wrapper.

<a data-toggle="modal" class='my-modal'>Open modal</a>

<div class="clone-modal-wrapper">
   <div class='my-modal' class="modal fade">
      <div class="modal-dialog">
         <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">
               <a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
               <h3>Header</h3>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-body"></div>
            <div class="modal-footer">
               <input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" value="Save"/>
            </div>
         </div>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

<div class="modal-wrapper"></div>


$("a[data-target=#myModal]").click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $(".modal-wrapper").html($(".clone-modal-wrapper").html());
    $('.modal-wrapper').find('.my-modal').modal('toggle');
});

You can try this:

$('#modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function() {
    $(this).removeData('bs.modal');
});

I was also stuck on this problem then I saw that the ids of the modal are the same. You need different ids of modals if you want multiple modals. I used dynamic id. Here is my code in haml:

.modal.hide.fade{"id"=> discount.id,"aria-hidden" => "true", "aria-labelledby" => "myModalLabel", :role => "dialog", :tabindex => "-1"}

you can do this

<div id="<%= some.id %>" class="modal hide fade in">
  <div class="modal-header">
    <a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
    <h3>Header</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body"></div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" value="Save" />
  </div>
</div>

and your links to modal will be

<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#" href='"#"+<%= some.id %>' >Open modal</a>
<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href='"#"+<%= some.id %>' >Open modal</a>
<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href='"#"+<%= some.id %>' >Open modal</a>

I hope this will work for you.

Here is a coffeescript version that worked for me.

$(document).on 'hidden.bs.modal', (e) ->
  target = $(e.target)
  target.removeData('bs.modal').find(".modal-content").html('')

Based on other answers (thanks everyone).

I needed to adjust the code to work, as simply calling .html wiped the whole content out and the modal would not load with any content after i did it. So i simply looked for the content area of the modal and applied the resetting of the HTML there.

    $(document).on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {
        var target = $(e.target);
        target.removeData('bs.modal')
              .find(".modal-content").html('');
    });

Still may go with the accepted answer as i am getting some ugly jump just before the modal loads as the control is with Bootstrap.

I wanted the AJAX loaded content removed when the modal closed, so I adjusted the line suggested by others (coffeescript syntax):

$('#my-modal').on 'hidden.bs.modal', (event) ->
  $(this).removeData('bs.modal').children().remove()

With Bootstrap 3 you can use 'hidden.bs.modal' event handler to delete any modal-related data, forcing the popup to reload next time:

$('#modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function() {
    $(this).removeData('bs.modal');
});

I made a small change to Softlion answer, so all my modals won't refresh on hide. The modals with data-refresh='true' attribute are only refreshed, others work as usual. Here is the modified version.

$(document).on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {
    if ($(e.target).attr('data-refresh') == 'true') {
        // Remove modal data
        $(e.target).removeData('bs.modal');
        // Empty the HTML of modal
        $(e.target).html('');
    }
});

Now use the attribute as shown below,

<div class="modal fade" data-refresh="true" id="#modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="#modal-label" aria-hidden="true"></div>

This will make sure only the modals with data-refresh='true' are refreshed. And i'm also resetting the modal html because the old values are shown until new ones get loaded, making html empty fixes that one.

To unload the data when the modal is closed you can use this with Bootstrap 2.x:

$('#myModal').on('hidden', function() {
    $(this).removeData('modal');
});

And in Bootstrap 3 (https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/7935#issuecomment-18513516):

$(document.body).on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
    $('#myModal').removeData('bs.modal')
});

//Edit SL: more universal
$(document).on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {
    $(e.target).removeData('bs.modal');
});

It will works for all version of twitterbootstrap

Javascript code :

<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
(function(){
   var bsModal = null;
   $("[data-toggle=modal]").click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      var trgId = $(this).attr('data-target'); 
      if ( bsModal == null ) 
       bsModal = $(trgId).modal;
      $.fn.bsModal = bsModal;
      $(trgId + " .modal-body").load($(this).attr("href"));
      $(trgId).bsModal('show');
    });
 })();
/* <![CDATA[ */
</script>

links to modal are

<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href="edit1.aspx">Open modal 1</a>
<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href="edit2.aspx">Open modal 2</a>
<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" href="edit3.aspx">Open modal 3</a>

pop up modal 

<div id="myModal" class="modal hide fade in">
<div class="modal-header">
    <a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
    <h3>Header</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body"></div>
<div class="modal-footer">
    <input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" value="Save"/>
</div>

A little more compressed than the above accepted example. Grabs the target from the data-target of the current clicked anything with data-toggle=modal on. This makes it so you don't have to know what the id of the target modal is, just reuse the same one! less code = win! You could also modify this to load title, labels and buttons for your modal should you want to. 

 $("[data-toggle=modal]").click(function(ev) {
    ev.preventDefault();
    // load the url and show modal on success
    $( $(this).attr('data-target') + " .modal-body").load($(this).attr("href"), function() { 
         $($(this).attr('data-target')).modal("show"); 
    });
});

Example Links:

<a data-toggle="modal" href="/page/api?package=herp" data-target="#modal">click me</a>
<a data-toggle="modal" href="/page/api?package=derp" data-target="#modal">click me2</a>
<a data-toggle="modal" href="/page/api?package=merp" data-target="#modal">click me3</a>

You can force Modal to refresh the popup by adding this line at the end of the hide method of the Modal plugin (If you are using bootstrap-transition.js v2.1.1, it should be at line 836)

this.$element.removeData()

Or with an event listener

$('#modal').on('hidden', function() {
    $(this).data('modal').$element.removeData();
})
