Anyone knows how to open a twitter bootstrap modal, from code behind?
I want to open the modal based on some requeriment at the moment of the save. Something like "Hey there's no stock, pick up one of the following options to continue (discard, reserve...) and press that button (that may do a postback for continue)"
I'm using ASP.NET web forms.
Finally I found out the problem preventing me from showing the modal from code-behind. One must think that it was as easy as register a clientscript that made the opening, like:
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(),"none",
"<script>$('#mymodal').modal('show');</script>", false);
But this never worked for me.
The problem is that Twitter Bootstrap Modals scripts don't work at all when the modal is inside an asp:Updatepanel, period. The behaviour of the modals fail from each side, codebehind to client and client to codebehind (postback). It even prevents postbacks when any js of the modal has executed, like a close button that you also need to do some sever objects disposing (for a dirty example)
I've notified the bootstrap staff, but they replied a convenient "please give us a fail scenario with only plain html and not asp." In my town, that's called... well, Bootstrap not supporting anything more that plain html. Nevermind, using it on asp.
I thought them to at least looking what they're doing different at the backdrop management, that I found causes the major part of the problems, but... (justa hint there)
So anyone that has the problem, drop the updatepanel for a try.
