Bootstrap modal - close modal when “call to action” button is clicked

Question

I have a external link inside my modal, and I want the modal to hide after the user has clicked on the link. How do I do that?

Here is my code:

Answer 1

You need to bind the modal hide call to the onclick event.

Assuming you are using jQuery you can do that with:

$('#closemodal').click(function() {
    $('#modalwindow').modal('hide');
});

Also make sure the click event is bound after the document has finished loading:

$(function() {
   // Place the above code inside this block
});
