I'm new to Bootstrap and i'm facing problem with this example:
<!-- Trigger the modal with a button -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Open Modal</button>
<!-- Modal -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Modal Header</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>Some text in the modal.</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As per my understanding data-dismiss="modal" attribute should close the modal if you click on it, but i don't understand how it works behind the scene. I checked the official documentation at: but there's no explaination.

The hiding functionality is implemented in the modal.js in this way.
this.$element.on('click.dismiss.bs.modal', '[data-dismiss="modal"]', $.proxy(this.hide, this))
Basically it's just finding the elements that have the attribute of data-dismiss and the value of modal. Upon click it will hide these elements.
replace data-dismiss="modal" by: onclick="$('#modal_id').modal('hide');"
You should have something like this:
<button type="button" class="close" onclick="$('#modal_id').modal('hide');" aria-label="Close">
onclick="$('#modal_id').modal('hide');" will close only the particular modal in which it is placed.
please note if it is this answer is useful.
If u use multiple modals on one page open at the same time on top of each other dismissing the topmost with data-dismiss="modal" will hide all active modals.
exactly in bootstrap.js find the element with attribute data-dismiss="modal" and trigger this.$element.on('click.dismiss.bs.modal', '[data-dismiss="modal"]', $.proxy(this.hide, this)) behind. i.e. it hides the element but in more complex way.
