I'm trying to use bootstrap's modal windows to display some info from a DB. Everything looks good on the backend, because I can see that the correct info is being displayed when I click each button. But when the modal window displays the entire screen is grayed-out, including the modal window and I'm interact with any of the buttons on the modal window.
Could it have something to do with using Blade templating? Here is my code:
Have you been overriding any bootstrap css properties? It sounds like the mask that is supposed to block out the background is coming in front of the modal. A z-index problem perhaps.
open the page in dev tools and then inspect the modal. Set the z-index to a high number and see if it pops over the top?
Unfortunately its impossible to say since things are stacked on the screen according to the z-index value. 2 will be over 1, 20,000 will be over 10. When the css is created the author could choose 1000 for the modal or 100. Inspecting the modal should show its current value.
The bootstrap demo at http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals #mymodal has a z-index of 1050 and the grey backdrop has a z-index of 1040. If you have not altered these then it should be fine?
