datatables editor how to close modal programmatically

xfloyd

Any one knows a way to close editor modal, using JS. I'm using bootstrap and using data-dismiss="modal" or "$('.modal').modal('hide');" does not work. It closes it ok but it will never open again.
Thanks for any help

The close() method should do it.

Hi @xfloyd ,

Try

$(".modal").trigger('click');

That should do the trick.

Hi Colin,

$(".modal").trigger('click');

That did not do anything in bootstrap 3

Hi @xfloyd ,

Have you tried Allan's suggestion above?

If so, and still no joy, for me, when I go to this example, select a line and press "Edit", a modal dialogue pops up. When I run that command in the console it closes the modal window.

Could you link to an example of your modal dialogue where this doesn't work, please.

Cheers,

Colin
