I\'ve got a couple of hyperlinks that each have an ID attached. When I click on this link, I want to open a modal ( http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#modal
Here's how I implemented it working from @mg1075's code. I wanted a bit more generic code so as not to have to assign classes to the modal trigger links/buttons:
Tested in Twitter Bootstrap 3.0.3.
HTML
<a href="#" data-target="#my_modal" data-toggle="modal" data-id="my_id_value">Open Modal</a>
JAVASCRIPT
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a[data-toggle=modal], button[data-toggle=modal]').click(function () {
var data_id = '';
if (typeof $(this).data('id') !== 'undefined') {
data_id = $(this).data('id');
}
$('#my_element_id').val(data_id);
})
});
I find this approach useful:
Create click event:
$( button ).on('click', function(e) {
let id = e.node.data.id;
$('#myModal').modal('show', {id: id});
});
Create show.bs.modal event:
$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
// access parsed information through relatedTarget
console.log(e.relatedTarget.id);
});
Extra:
Make your logic inside show.bs.modal to check whether the properties are parsed, like for instance as this:
id: ( e.relatedTarget.hasOwnProperty( 'id' ) ? e.relatedTarget.id : null )
Your code would have worked with correct modal html structure.
$(function(){
$(".open-AddBookDialog").click(function(){
$('#bookId').val($(this).data('id'));
$("#addBookDialog").modal("show");
});
});

Bootstrap 4.3 - use code from below snippet - more here
$('#exampleModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
let bookId = $(event.relatedTarget).data('bookid')
$(this).find('.modal-body input').val(bookId)
})
a.btn.btn-primary.open-AddBookDialog {color: white }

You can try simpleBootstrapDialog. Here you can pass title, message, callback options for cancel and submit etc...
Here is a cleaner way to do it if you are using Bootstrap 3.2.0.
Link HTML
<a href="#my_modal" data-toggle="modal" data-book-id="my_id_value">Open Modal</a>
Modal JavaScript
//triggered when modal is about to be shown
$('#my_modal').on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {
//get data-id attribute of the clicked element
var bookId = $(e.relatedTarget).data('book-id');
//populate the textbox
$(e.currentTarget).find('input[name="bookId"]').val(bookId);
});
