Bootstrap 3.0 Modal - How to dismiss with ESC or click outside modal?

Question

I have a Bootply test setup here: http://bootply.com/67311

When I click the 'X' or the 'Close' button, it works as expected. However, I want it to close/dismiss when the user hits escape, or clicks outside the modal dialog.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

Thanks a lot for "tabindex="-1"

Had same problem. I checked the code in bootstrap.js (Modal section) - looks like some event (whitch escape functionality uses) doesnt fire. I hope the fix it soon.

I got BS3 RC2, and mouse click works there perfectly

<!-- Button trigger modal -->
<a data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal" class="btn btn-primary btn-large">Launch demo modal</a>

<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal" id="myModal" tabindex="-1">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">
                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
                <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-body">
                ...
            </div>
            <div class="modal-footer">
                <a href="#" class="btn">Close</a>
                <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a>
            </div>
        </div><!-- /.modal-content -->
