SweetAlert Prompt issue in bootstrap modal

Question

I have been trying for more than two days to run SweetAlert prompt in a modal bootstrap without success, the input is not accessible and I don't understand why. I need help please.

$("#openSWAL").click(function(){
	swal({
    title: "An input!",
    text: "Write something interesting:",
    type: "input",
    showCancelButton: true,
    closeOnConfirm: false,
    animation: "slide-from-top",
    inputPlaceholder: "Write something"
  },
       function(inputValue){
    if (inputValue === false) return false;

    if (inputValue === "") {
      swal.showInputError("You need to write something!");
      return false
    }

    swal("Nice!", "You wrote: " + inputValue, "success");
  });
});

Answer 1

Removing tabindex="-1" from myModal seems to do the job: Fiddle

The problem is tabindex, because if you set it to -1, you won't be able to access that element. More info here, and in this question.

Answer 2

Bootstrap modal has z-index=10001 in general. But Sweetalert modal has z-index=10000 or something less than bootstrap modal's z-index. So its always appear behind of bootstrap modal.

Give your SweetAlert modal higher z-index than bootstrap modal. Problem will be solved.

In my case, it works perfectly. I am using sweetalert: ^2.1.2

.swall-overlay {
    z-index: 100005;
}
.swal-modal {
    z-index: 99999;
}

Please remember, don't try to change bootstrap modal z-index. Its a common scenario that Alert always appear on top of everything, even on top of modal. So, its a good practice changing sweetalert z-index.
