Many CSS toolkits include styles (and Javascript) for creating modal dialog boxes. This example shows how to use HTMX alongside original JavaScript provided by Bootstrap.

We start with a button that triggers the dialog, along with a DIV at the bottom of your markup where the dialog will be loaded:

<button
    hx-get="/modal"
    hx-target="#modals-here"
    hx-trigger="click"
    data-bs-toggle="modal"
    data-bs-target="#modals-here"
    class="btn primary">Open Modal</button>

<div id="modals-here"
    class="modal modal-blur fade"
    style="display: none"
    aria-hidden="false"
    tabindex="-1">
    <div class="modal-dialog modal-lg modal-dialog-centered" role="document">
        <div class="modal-content"></div>
    </div>
</div>

This button uses a GET request to /modal when this button is clicked. The contents of this file will be added to the DOM underneath the #modals-here DIV.

The server responds with a slightly modified version of Bootstrap's standard modal

<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered">
  <div class="modal-content">
    <div class="modal-header">
      <h5 class="modal-title">Modal title</h5>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
      <p>Modal body text goes here.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

{{ demoenv() }}
