backbone, underscore and modals about bootstrap-modal

[jschr]

I have a bit of experience with Backbone and bootstrap but that was before I wrote this modal plugin unfortunately. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would cause this besides maybe not using Bootstrap 2.1.0+?

If you have a test page I'd be happy to take a look at it to try and see what's going on.

I've just removed bootstrap-modal.js leaving bootstrap-manager.js in place and it started to work, on iphone and desktop. I'm using bootstrap 2.2.0 and backbone 0.9.2.

I can send you the page privately, as it is in early devel stages.

hmm.. Do you happen to be using an older version of the plugin? It's my intention that you should be able to just include the files on top of bootstrap and have it just work. I also suspect removing the modal class definition from the bootstrap library would also resolve the problem but like I said, I don't want that to be a requirement.

If you have a private url or page you would like to send me I'd be glad to take a look so let me know.

I uploaded a version to google with all the js included:

you will need a google account to log in.

According to the source you are using Bootstrap 2.1.1 which is why you are seeing the problem. In version 2.2.0 they changed all the events from being on body to document so right now you are running into some weird issues because modals are being launched twice. If you need to use BS 2.1.1 you can fix the issue with this:

$('body').off('.modal')

Seems there is another issue with backbone. Events defined in collections doesn't fire properly when inside a modal. Removing bootstrap-modal.js make it to work.

I use a single button to submit a form via a backbone action and to dismiss the modal. The modal is dismiss appropaitely, but the backbone action does not execute. I'll try to dig more.

It could be related to the use of triggerHandler instead of trigger?
